AI-based system for building energy management

BEAD is an AI-based system that analyzes, optimizes and operates a building’s energy management and related marketing strategies and operations by measuring real-time occupancy data. BEAD sensors analyze human behaviors and occupancy changes inside the building. Occupancy cycles, movements, and density change information can be collected with the use of BEAD software. With human behavior contributing to energy waste by 20-40%, the goal of the innovation is to analyze and develop fully autonomous/self-operating buildings to save energy, cut utility bills, optimize marketing strategies and reduce emissions.
