What we learn building AI for the real world.
Short, technical, opinionated. The patterns, anti-patterns, and post-mortems behind Sensor Intelligence and applied AI for buildings — written by the people doing the work.
Building energy optimization with AI: where the real savings are
AI finds energy savings that rule-based systems miss. Learn where the real opportunities are in commercial buildings — and how to capture them.
How AI anomaly detection works in building sensor data
How does AI detect real anomalies in building sensor data without drowning you in false alarms? Six methods, severity scoring, and causal filtering explained.
Smart building AI: a buyer's guide for facility managers and asset owners
Evaluating smart building AI? This guide covers the 5 capabilities that matter, platform types, and what to look for, from a team that builds one.
Compliance tracking for green buildings: automate BREEAM, LEED, and Nordic Swan with sensor data
Automate green building certification with continuous sensor data. Real-time compliance tracking for BREEAM, LEED, and Nordic Swan -- no more audit scrambles.
Sensor forecasting for buildings: predict energy, comfort, and equipment behavior
Predict energy demand, comfort issues, and equipment failures from your building sensors. See how AI forecasting with confidence bounds works in practice.
Building insights: what your BMS data is trying to tell you
Your building generates thousands of data points per hour. Here are 5 insights hiding in your sensor data — and how to act on them.
Your building AI is only as good as the data it trusts
AI in buildings fails when sensors lie. Drift, stuck values, and missing data undermine every insight. How a physics-aware AI layer validates its own inputs.
ESG Reporting Needs Continuous Sensor Data, Not Annual Snapshots
Green building certifications define the standard. Continuous sensor data proves you're meeting it. How real-time building analytics makes ESG reporting credible.
