About this event

A technical session on the unglamorous layer that AI building tools actually run on: the Building Energy Management System, and whether the data it collects is good enough to feed them. The argument is that AI platforms need more and better data than traditional mechanical, electrical and public health systems were ever commissioned to produce, and that the BEMS is what stands between an AI tool and a building it can usefully model. Comprehensive commissioning is the fix being proposed. Mal Stuthridge, an Associate Director, is speaking. It runs 16:30 to 18:00 at the AtkinsRéalis office on Chamberlain Square, and it is free. Note that the listing gives two different postcodes for the venue; the one in the venue field is B3 3AX. Why go: a rare Birmingham room where the AI conversation is about data quality and commissioning rather than models. Best for building services engineers, and for facilities and proptech people who have to make these integrations work.
