Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study investigates the socio-economic impact of smart housing, emphasizing energy consumption efficiency within Smart City initiatives. Through a comprehensive analysis incorporating data collection, computational modelling in the Wolfram Language, and comparative studies, the research highlights how smart housing – equipped with IoT devices, artificial intelligence, and energy management systems – significantly enhances energy efficiency compared to traditional housing. The findings reveal that smart housing not only reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions but also promotes economic savings and improves quality of life. Despite challenges such as technological adoption barriers and the digital divide, effective management strategies and policy support are identified as key enablers. This research contributes valuable insights into the role of smart housing in advancing sustainable urban development, demonstrating its potential to reshape urban living for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
