*'''[[Controlling HVAC and lighting systems]]:''' Current building energy management systems are manually designed by human operators, which leads to energy inefficient operations. ML can help develop predictive models of building energy systems, leading to efficient building operation via advanced model-based optimal control methods.
*'''Fault detection and [[Predictive Maintenance|predictive maintenance]] in building systems:''' Buildings are embedded with complex engineering systems in dynamic interplay. Component's malfunctions are a constant threat to the building operations economics and comfort and safety of human occupants. ML can help to transfer from reactive maintenance to predictive maintenance and cut the maintenance cost by prolonging the remaining useful life of building engineering systems.
*'''[[Demand response]] and [[energy social games]]:''' There are opportunities to reduce the GHG emissions due to energy consumption in building by adapting the demand to when the share of renewable energy on the grid is higher and lower. ML provides tools to enable automatic demand response to current supply conditions, it also provides ways for users to optimize their demand based incentives.
*'''[[AI-guided building design and planning]]:''' Current building designs are drawn by the joined hands of the architect, mechanical, electrical, and control engineers using various computer-aided design tools. ML can help to navigate and optimize complex design landscapes, often balancing conflicting requirements such as energy efficiency, comfort, and cost.
*'''[[Sector-coupled districts and district heating systems]]''': To achieve decarbonization across the heating, electricity, and mobility sectors, they are increasingly coupled within districts in a joint spatial and organizational context. ML can help by providing surrogate models of thermal processes and quantify uncertainties of loads, supply, and mobility behavior.
