Bits4Watts Workshop 2026: 2nd International Workshop on Low-Carbon Building and Urban Energy Systems Powered by Data, AI, and Smart Controls
Digitalization is becoming increasingly crucial in making today’s buildings low-carbon and energy-efficient. According to the International Energy Agency, utilizing the data from ubiquitous sensors, actuators, and IoT devices could save around 10% of energy use in residential and commercial buildings by 2040. By leveraging data and data-driven techniques, various stakeholders can gain valuable insights and make better decision-making throughout all phases, from design through construction to operations.
This workshop aims to explore the integration of data, AI, and advanced controls in building energy management from individual buildings to the community scale. The workshop will feature selected presentations of case studies that highlight recent developments and demonstrations of data management, artificial intelligence, model-based diagnostic and control technologies, and grid interactions. The format will encourage an open discussion to address what is necessary to move from research to the widespread adoption of smart data-driven building technologies. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of the current state of smart data-driven technologies in buildings and will be able to identify existing gaps that need to be addressed in future research and development.
