Deep Dive Session: What can AI mean for energy management of buildings?
Energy management systems offer building owners and managers a powerful solution to cut costs, reduce carbon emissions and deliver flexibility. AI techniques play a key role in this by, for example, automatically learning when flexibility is available and making the best use of it. This can serve both local goals, such as maximising self-consumption of solar power or reducing costs, and broader system goals such as reducing imbalance across the energy system.
During this session, we will bring together experts to share the latest insights and applications in this field. With a mix of lectures and hands-on demos, the programme offers both inspiration and practical tools.
This is the third of a series of stand-alone Deep Dive Sessions. These Deep Dives takes place within the framework of the European EDIH-EBE project. EDIH-EBE offers companies access to expertise, data and testing facilities. In these sessions we offer you a combination of an expert panel and a demonstration.
