Join us online on 26 November from 10:00 to 11:30 (CET) for the webinar “Building the future through Electrification and Digitalisation: when AI-driven design meets electrification for zero-emission buildings”
Context
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a game changer in the transition towards a decarbonised building sector. By enhancing how we plan, design, and operate energy systems, AI can accelerate the shift to zero-emission buildings. Together, META BUILD and ZEBAI illustrate different approaches to use AI in the building sector.
In this context we will explore how AI can support the design phase and the operational performance of buildings and more. Speakers from both projects will setting the stage highlighting how AI and digital solutions are transforming the way we plan, design, operate and scale electrified solutions.
Beyond the insights from META BUILD and ZEBAI, this session will broaden the discussion to highlight AI applications across other sectors, particularly industry, where digitalisation and data-driven optimisation have already proven transformative.
Objectives
• Showcase innovative approaches to decarbonising the EU building stock.
• Present the AI-enhanced design methodologies developed within ZEBAI and META BUILD.
• Encourage knowledge exchange and collaboration among EU-funded projects.
