Technical Description
Stakeholders in the built environment spend millions of hours annually conducting building audits and inventorying building systems equipment. They use the information to identify opportunities to reduce building energy consumption. What about the efficiency of gathering the required data to determine what is possible? The costs associated with gathering accurate building systems data to analyze and then generate proposals for energy efficient improvements is significant. Emerging OCR and AI technology are poised to streamline the accurate capture of building systems equipment data. The evolution from paper and pencil, to fat fingering model numbers and serial numbers onto spreadsheets in the field, to using OCR and AI to accurately and quickly capture pertinent data will be explored in this webinar. Technology innovations have slashed the time required to capture equipment data, freeing up countless hours and reducing costs for engineering firms. Explore how technology is introducing efficiency to the process of generating proposals for building improvements.
