Abstract
Purpose
The concept of sustainable performance is gaining attention from researchers all over the world for the betterment of society as a whole.

The present research aims to analyze the indicators of adoption of smart buildings and their impact on dimensions of sustainability, namely, economic, social and environmental performance.
Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from 332 respondents staying in smart buildings. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the data.
Findings
The results of the study indicated adoption of smart buildings depicted a stronger perceived sustainable environmental and economic performance while social performance emerged as a weak outcome variable as compared to the other two performances.
Originality/value
The study thus has tremendous implications for construction companies so that they may design smart buildings by adequately using artificial intelligence. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is one of the initial studies to understand the perception of residents of smart buildings using smart technology in India.
