Integrating AI in Smart Buildings
The way we design, operate, and interact with buildings is evolving rapidly. With the rise of AI, IoT, and advanced analytics, buildings are transforming into intelligent, energy-efficient structures that can adapt in real time to occupant needs. From improving security and operational efficiency to enhancing user experience, AI is capable of powering key applications such as smart keyless access, personalised lighting and temperature settings, optimised elevator flow, and energy-efficient HVAC systems.
Within Europe, the smart building market is driven by growing Industry 4.0 adoption, big-data analytics, government initiatives such as the EU Green Building Directive and the push for sustainable, connected, and user-centric buildings. As these converging forces continue to gather pace, integrating AI and embedded technologies into building systems has become critical for creating secure, efficient, and future-ready spaces.
In this exclusive Avnet Silica webinar, experts from Avnet Silica, STMicroelectronics, Micron, Safesquare, Nordic Semiconductor, Tria Technologies, and MPS will share how AI-powered solutions are shaping the next generation of smart buildings. They will provide actionable insights into engineering approaches, such as implementing AI-driven automation, optimising energy usage through embedded processing, and enhancing occupant experiences with integrated sensing and connectivity solutions.
