A The majority (84%) of the decision -makers for commercial buildings plan to increase their use of artificial intelligence next year to improve security, to rationalize energy management and to integrate predictive maintenance, according to a new honeywell study.
In his AI in building studies on US building managers and decision -makers with more than 250 building residents, Honeywell found that the respondents are increasingly using AI about real estate types to improve process efficiency, productivity and operation. However, since most respondents (92%) reported challenges in the cessation of qualified, technically experienced people, there is a greater chance that the development of operations increases the skills of the AI to improve employee training, the current workforce and ultimately contributes to the fact that the work of the sector supports the rapidly changing needs of the sector.
“AI in buildings is a player who not only helps to maximize the operation and efficiency, but also help to improve security for guests, minimize energy consumption for tenants and to reduce the costly downtimes by marking problems,” said Billal Hammoud, President and CEO of Honeywell's building automation. “With basic AI functions that are already integrated into many commercial buildings, the managers should hike their focus on the upskilling opportunities that they can offer for employees who can use AI to help buildings reduce CO2 emissions and at the same time more secure and operational efficient.”
AI goes mainstream
For commercial buildings, the research of Honeywell showed that the AI has switched to experimental and now to the mainstream, which is shown by increasing use for daily building management. The most important results include:
- Almost 60% of the respondents have already taken over to optimize maintenance and repair processes.
- One of the most common applications is the forecast expectation that contributes to identifying problems before they become major concerns and is currently used by 49% of those surveyed.
- Security and security are first class for more than half of all respondents.
- Of the frequent applications, monitoring for unusual behavior (63%), location persecution systems for occupant safety (52%) and biometrically -based access control systems (45%) were (45%).
- Decision -makers turn to temperature control up to water consumption to AI.
- More than half (55%) of the respondents currently use AI for the entire building energy management, 41% use it to monitor water consumption and 40% for temperature comfort.
Honeywell commissioned Wakefield Research with the implementation of the Honeywell Building Managers Research Survey, in which 250 US building managers and manageries about building types such as offices, hospitals, airports, schools, universities, hotels and data centers were asked.
