Question: What are AI capabilities to identify thermal loss and improve the energy efficiency of buildings?
Answer: In the not too distant future, a specialised AI-based platform will provide energy audits for building owners.
Stephen: We’re currently working with a company developing a comprehensive energy auditing system using our external thermal imaging combined with the internal thermal assessment and thermal monitoring to create a comprehensive energy auditing platform. In the not too distant future, there will be a specialised AI based platform that can provide energy audits for building owners. It’s designed primarily for the industrial and commercial space, but it will have applicability in high-rise residential, especially where the building has an integral HVAC system. It’s not that far away.
Edwina: We will see much more in this space, with environmental and social governance becoming a big part of the industry. The technology is moving that way. The government is advocating for change and for buildings to become carbon-neutral. It’s only natural that the technology will evolve in this direction.
