Today, computer vision has become one of the hottest applications of artificial intelligence. Intel defines this tech as a combination of cameras, edge- or cloud-based computing, software, and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable systems to see and identify objects.
Carbon capture
These calculations suggest it will be decades before some new buildings pay back their carbon debt by saving more emissions than they created – and these are decades when carbon must be sharply reduced.
The construction sector is essential for an economic recovery after the COVID-19 crisis.
As a means of contributing to enhancing the buildings’ pre and post occupancy developments, a study has been conducted, which aims at upgrading PEB’s energy performance predictions which are guided by users’ everyday practices.
I believe the carbon constraint will not stifle but will catalyse innovation, and we may find that the solutions are far better than their carbon intense predecessors.
