Project Overview
The digitization of building information has the potential to transform the way professionals design, construct and operate facilities and the way occupants interact with them. In particular, building information models (BIMs) enable the digital representation of a building’s physical and functional characteristics; and building automation systems (BASs) enable advanced building controls that can respond to occupant activities. The objective of the Smart Buildings collaboratory is to engage in research towards improving the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings, to increase occupant comfort and decrease energy consumption and costs.
A subproject of this Collaboratory, entitled Sex, gender and user studies in CS - Data usage, is led by Dr. Matthew Guzdial and investigates "inclusive space design".

| AI Opportunities for Energy Transition and SustainabilityArtificial intelligence (AI) can play a key role in accelerating the global energy transition, by enabling a reduction in energy consumption and supporting the use of more renewable resources. In this presentation, we will provide a high-level overview of the opportunity, discuss some specific international case studies and relevant UofA research initiatives in this area, and identify key barriers that need to be mitigated to enable this vision.
