The Intelligent Building Forum brings together applied researchers, algorithm developers, and industry stakeholders to explore the latest trends in the use of AI and machine learning to improve building operations, and to share practical insights and real-world applications.

This forum seeks to demystify the use of AI and data in buildings while highlighting emerging innovations shaping the sector. Presentations are structured across three themed sessions: NOW, focusing on current practices and applications; NEW, showcasing recent advances; and NEXT, exploring near-future developments. The program also includes an industry-focused panel discussion to encourage dialogue across research and practice.

The Intelligent Building Forum is designed for engineers, building owners and operators, facilities and energy managers, consultants, technology providers, researchers, and policy professionals with an interest in intelligent and data-driven buildings. It will be particularly valuable for those involved in building design, commissioning, operation, optimisation, and digital transformation who are seeking to better understand how new technology, AI and machine learning can be applied to deliver smarter, healthier and occupant-focused buildings.
