KPMG study indicates AI can help cut energy waste
Traditional retrofits are too slow and costly to deliver the scale of cuts required to reach net-zero goals of 2050, and buildings waste energy even after costly upgrades, but paths to better results do exist, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help, suggests a recent KPMG study on energy efficiency and management in buildings.
The company’s How AI is helping to improve energy efficiency and management in real estate report suggests the solution lies in Strategic Energy Management (SEM). SEM is a model that turns energy and emissions from long-term goals into day-to-day tasks backed by AI to achieve higher efficiency rates.
