AI for Intelligent Buildings

AI for Intelligent Buildings
Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an extension of the intelligent buildings paradigm, which is characterized by the integration of information and operations technologies. The business of owning and managing commercial buildings has been transformed by the accessibility of new data streams and the tools to analyze and operationalize the associated information. This intelligent buildings market encompasses a spectrum of applications that range from simplistic data presentment to complex analytics and automated system improvement. AI represents the next frontier in sophisticated technology solutions for the intelligent building.
The introduction of intelligent building solutions has had a variable impact on the commercial buildings industry. For some key industry segments, such as automation and controls, it has been disruptive—altering the competitive landscape and threatening the market position of legacy leaders. In other segments, such as the design, build, renovate segment, the key industry players are just now exploring how they can innovate and evolve. This range in impact will be amplified as AI solutions enter the market.
