AI reduces hospital’s energy use by 20 percent

A system of multi-variant sensing for predictive controls of air-conditioning was used


University students in Singapore who were participating in an innovation challenge were given eight months special access to a local hospital to solve challenges around energy efficiency and smart buildings, according to an article on the FutureIoT website.

The winning team used a system of multi-variant sensing for predictive controls of the air-conditioning system. They achieved more than 20 percent energy savings and improved comfort through machine learning of room occupancy and air quality metrics. 

Their prototype enabled the air-conditioning system to be controlled by artificial intelligence.

Besides the AI software, the smart control solution also uses sensors to measure humidity, carbon dioxide and other room conditions.
