Popis: Many Strategies and technologies have been tried and tested to attain energy efficiency in buildings. Internet based new age computer technologies are one among them. These new age digital technologies face resistance and lack of acceptance from the industry in initial stages. The prolonged acceptance in the society could be avoided and the rate of acceptance would be much faster if the characteristics of this technologies would have been known. The adaption of these technologies into energy conservation sector would be far easier if the factors favouring energy conservation by these new age technologies are identified. This research work is conducted to identify the critical factors that influence conservation of energy in buildings by adaption to new age digital technologies. The critical factors are ranked and prioritized based upon their weightage by using Best Worst Method (BWM). Among the main technologies, results show that blockchain technology is at the forefront followed by Internet of Things and Machine learning. Among the fifteen subfactors Real time execution, Security and Transparency are the top three factors favouring the digital technologies. The limitations and further scope of this research is also discussed in this paper.
