Managing Energy with AI-based optimisation
As energy costs rise and net-zero targets tighten, optimising building performance has become a critical priority. However, many organisations still rely on reactive approaches and disconnected systems that limit their ability to act effectively.
This session explores how AI-driven energy optimisation is transforming the way buildings are managed — shifting from passive monitoring to continuous, intelligent optimisation. By combining structured data and advanced analytics, organisations can identify inefficiencies, predict issues, and automatically improve performance in real time.
We will also explore how open, intelligent control frameworks are enabling a new generation of smart controllers — creating more adaptive, scalable, and future-ready building systems that support long-term sustainability goals.
What will you learn from this session?
• How AI can be applied to optimise energy performance in real time
• The limitations of traditional, reactive energy management approaches
• How structured data enables more effective energy optimisation
• The role of open frameworks in next-generation building controls
• How intelligent controllers can adapt, learn, and improve building performance
• Practical strategies to reduce energy consumption, costs, and carbon emissions
Who should attend this session?
• Building owners and operators
• Facilities and estate managers
• Energy and sustainability managers
• Smart building and digital transformation leaders
• Consultants and system integrators
• Anyone responsible for reducing operational costs or achieving net-zero targets
