Anson Sando said that smart technologies using artificial intelligence will help conserve electricity and improve cooling efficiency in the future [1].
This shift in construction and urban planning represents a critical move toward sustainable infrastructure as cities face increasing energy demands. By integrating AI into the built environment, developers can reduce the carbon footprint of large-scale urban projects.
Sando said this during The Hindu Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure Summit in Chennai [1]. The event focused on the transformation of the construction industry through the adoption of emerging technologies and AI [1].
According to Sando, the implementation of these smart systems will allow for more precise control over energy consumption. This is particularly relevant for cooling systems, which often represent a significant portion of a building's total electricity use, a challenge that AI can mitigate through predictive analytics and automated adjustments [1].
"Smart technologies using AI will help conserve electricity in the future," Sando said [1].
The discussion in Chennai highlighted a broader trend toward the digitization of urban infrastructure. The summit served as a platform to examine how AI can streamline construction processes and ensure that new developments are energy-efficient from the ground up [1].
“"Smart technologies using AI will help conserve electricity in the future"”
The integration of AI into urban infrastructure marks a transition from passive energy saving to active, intelligent management. By optimizing cooling and electricity use in real-time, cities can lower operational costs and reduce the strain on power grids, aligning urban growth with global climate goals.
