How AI is Transforming the Future of Building Optimization

The built environment is at the center of today’s most pressing challenges, including energy efficiency, continuous monitoring of building operations, carbon reduction, occupant well-being and operational resilience. As building systems grow increasingly complex, these concerns become even more critical. While AI optimization methods alone aren’t sufficient, AI is emerging as a game changer by empowering building owners, operators and consultants to shift from reactive decision-making to predictive, self-optimizing systems.

In this webinar hosted by UL Solutions and Voiz Academy, we will explore common AI-driven strategies that are currently being used in buildings such as load management and predictive maintenance. The session will include case studies demonstrating measurable benefits delivered by AI. We will also share how AI is enhancing analysis of energy assessments, monitoring-based commissioning and decarbonization roadmaps.

Voiz Academy will highlight how professionals in the building industry — including sustainability leaders and facilities managers — can leverage AI tools and on-the-job training to boost their effectiveness and accelerate impact. 

Key learning objectives: 

• Understand the transformative role AI plays in optimizing building performance
• Learn how smart buildings are applying proven AI strategies in operations
• Discover how UL Solutions can support building energy performance standards (BEPS) compliance and monitoring-based commissioning
• Gain actionable insights to guide your own optimization and sustainability initiatives
