Abstract

Self-driving buildings are not a matter of the future any more, and AI makes this possible. In this talk, you are invited to explore together where building data comes from, what it looks like and what it is worth: how it is collected and prepared, how meaning is added to it, and how it is used to make decisions and to enable buildings to drive themselves.
