Buildings need good air quality (IAQ) for occupant health but using more ventilation to achieve it can waste energy. AI-powered building management systems can help balance these goals. First, an IAQ audit identifies strengths and weaknesses. Then, strategies like filtration, ventilation, and monitoring are used to optimize IAQ.
Once IAQ is optimized, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) adjusts ventilation based on occupancy to save energy. AI can further analyze data and suggest actions to balance IAQ and energy use, creating healthy and sustainable buildings.
