Lancaster University researchers will lead on the development of a new arsenal of artificial intelligence and data science tools that will unlock massive energy savings and help UK businesses in their goal of achieving net zero.
Developed as part of a £1.6 million programme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, part of UKRI, these cutting-edge algorithms will automatically and continuously sift through a deluge of data, finding new insights and recommending ways to slash energy consumption.
Crucially, these new tools will be designed and developed to be transferred across a wide range of business sectors and organisations, and across different buildings and infrastructure. This will pave the way for the digital replication of energy efficiency savings, and a viral spread of the knowledge and techniques across sectors.
