The paper considers the role of AI in helping buildings to provide comfortable, secure and safe environments which are also engaging and convenient for their users. It recognises that security includes not just the physical building but also cybersecurity, where AI has an enhanced role to play. It looks at AI as a factor in reducing the cost of running a building, whether it is a question of energy efficiency or the cost and reliability of service and maintenance and the imperative to keep the building functioning. The paper also touches briefly on the significance of standards and regulation, both those aimed specifically at AI and those which influence it.

Building Controls: An Introduction

Building controls are so important when it comes to providing measurable data, whether it be on CO2 levels, humidity, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), fine dust, temperature and system performance.

Recognising the data and understanding what the data means and how it can be used is a game-changer for better performing buildings.
This course will equip you with the knowledge and appreciation of building controls and how they can be applied successfully within buildings.
