Buildings researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have released a new AI-driven, autonomous bot that could help speed up the energy modeling process for commercial building construction. Long before construction begins, commercial building teams evaluate a building’s expected energy consumption to inform design decisions, estimate operating costs and comply with relevant state and local energy codes.Buildings researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have released a new AI-driven, autonomous bot that could help speed up the energy modeling process for commercial building construction.
