Description
Digital sustainability uses technology to conserve resources, reduce environmental impact, and promote long-term stability. Smart homes powered by IoT, AI, and automation play a key role in improving energy efficiency, integrating renewable energy, and optimizing resource use. However, challenges like high costs, privacy concerns, lack of awareness, and digital literacy still hinder widespread adoption. This study proposes a model linking smart home usage to economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Future research will validate this model by collecting real-world data from smart home users and analyzing it with a hybrid SEM-ANN approach. Further studies should explore additional factors, track long-term trends, and test the model in different settings.
