The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to heating and ventilation technology offers a solution to the energy inefficiencies in buildings, which account for 40% of total energy consumption and 36% of carbon dioxide emissions in the EU. AI analyses data from sensors, outdoor temperature, and energy use to optimise heating and ventilation, ensuring comfort while reducing energy consumption.

In a Swedish pilot project with 119 flats, AI-controlled heating led to a 20% reduction in energy consumption, contributing to a total energy savings of around 30%. The potential of AI extends to other energy-intensive sectors like smart grids and mobile networks, showcasing its versatility in energy optimisation.
