☆ Artificial Intelligence Steps In to Lower Carbon Footprint of Buildings
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Dieter Holger | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
Artificial intelligence is starting to help buildings go greener. Developers and construction companies have pursued more-efficient energy use in buildings over the past couple of decades. “We want to make every building out there as smart as it can be,” said Ramya Ravichandar, JLL Technologies’s vice president, technology platforms—smart and sustainable buildings. For instance, software and hardware that automatically manages lights, heating and cooling can help buildings cut 20% or more of their yearly energy use. “The main message overall is we’re not going to save the planet with software, and AI is software,” Smithies said.

☆ How tech groundbreaker Greg Smithies went from Elon Musk's inner circle to tackling real estate's $18 trillion carbon-emissions problem
  + stars: | 2023-01-02 | by ( Alex Nicoll | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Greg Smithies leads the biggest fund focused on the decarbonization of real estate. Smithies has worked on sustainability issues and with Elon Musk's The Boring Company. But Smithies is no stranger to investment-led decarbonization efforts, having tackled the problem for much of his career. "At the end of the day, software isn't going to solve the climate crisis," Smithies said. But above all, he's focused on the money and the potential savings that low-carbon technology can have on real estate.
☆ Runwise raises $19 mln to improve buildings' energy efficiency
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Juliette Portala | Industry Insight | Reuters Professional | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Boosting energy efficiency of older buildings is seen as a key way to help countries meet their climate goals, although the pace of change has been slow so far. "What we figured out is that most buildings (...) are running on control technology that really hasn't changed since the 60s or 70s," President of Runwise Lee Hoffman said. "On a macro level, about 45% of carbon emissions in most major cities are coming from how buildings operate. So if you want to address climate, you literally have to start with buildings," he added. European Union lawkmakers last month backed plans to save more energy, including through renovating draughty buildings.
