ADDING AI TO ATP: OPTIMIZING ENERGY USAGE IN HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDINGS
Once something out of a sci-fi movie, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of facility operations. Smart technologies have the ability to not only process mass amounts of data but use the information strategically to meet desired outcomes. This is enabling the successful optimization of energy consumption – and the creation of free cash flow – even in already high-performing buildings.
The Australian Technology Park (ATP) in Sydney, for example, despite already having a 5.5 NABERS score, is using a cloud-based, intelligent energy management platform to optimize HVAC power consumption in the building occupied by NICTA.
