Producing resources from alternative sources, reusing and recycling materials and overall protection of the environment is possible only by constructing these sustainable buildings. The current trend in succeeding all of the above is possible only by constructing sustainable intelligent buildings. Therefore, a state of the art of the link between the intelligent and sustainable buildings is presented in the following article, the way in which they aggregate, their commonalities and the way their relate and their intercooperation.
