How AI Is Making Buildings More Energy-Efficient
Briefly

'To date, we mostly use AI for our convenience, or for work... But I think AI has so much more potential in making buildings more efficient and low-carbon.' - Nan Zhou, Senior Scientist, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
'For years, the building's temperature ran on basic thermostats, which could result in inefficiencies or energy waste. There was no advance thought to it, no logic, no connectivity to what the weather was going to be.' - Avi Schron, Executive VP at Cammeby's International.
'AI could help buildings reduce their energy consumption and carbon emissions by at least 8%. Early efforts to modernize HVAC systems with AI have shown encouraging results,' according to a 2024 study.
'Microsoft... acknowledged that its AI development has imperiled their climate goals, yet experts argue that AI can also be part of the solution by helping make large buildings more energy-efficient.'
