Commercial buildings drive a significant portion of global energy consumption and GHG emissions. It is often unperceived that one of the largest contributors of this energy usage comes from buildings' HVAC systems. In fact, 45% of commercial buildings' energy consumption comes from HVAC and 30% of it is usually wasted. Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing building management by pre-emptively changing how HVAC systems behave and offering a low-cost, high-impact solution to improve commercial energy management. Adding a layer of artificial intelligence on top of the building's existing automation system can reduce emissions and operating costs while increasing occupant comfort.
