Digital Buildings – Part 1: Climate-friendly and cost-effective building operation

With the help of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, buildings can be operated more efficiently and sustainably. Digital processes can also be used to significantly accelerate energy-efficient retrofits in buildings as well as the construction of new buildings and homes. Fraunhofer ISE is conducting research on digital applications in the building industry and addressing the associated challenges and solutions for tradespeople and businesses. What opportunities does digitalization open for the green transition in the building industry? In view of the increasing relevance of this topic, Innovation 4E is launching a three-part interview series to highlight certain areas of research at Fraunhofer ISE on this topic. Dr. Lilli Frison, who holds a degree in computer science and heads the research team "Cognitive Buildings" at Fraunhofer ISE, kicks off the series.
