Intelligent Building Lifecycle

ASHRAE will lead the integration of AI, data, and emerging technologies across the full building lifecycle—design, commissioning, operation, and adaptation—enabling intelligent, responsive, and high-performing built environments.

Why It Matters

Digital transformation is reshaping how buildings are designed and operated. Harnessing AI and data enables better decisions, improved performance, and lifecycle optimization.

ASHRAE's Role

Develop standards, tools, and frameworks for intelligent building systems
Enable AI-driven design, Ongoing Commissioning, and operations
Ensure ethical, practical, and workforce-aligned technology adoption

Priority Actions

Advance AI-aided design and commissioning tools
Promote digital twins for Ongoing Commissioning and optimization
Establish guidance on ethical and compliant AI use in engineering
Develop outcome-based standards and performance frameworks
Provide education on AI, data, and digital workflows
Foster industry partnerships in emerging technologies

Resources

Emerging technologies are often found in the ASHRAE Journal and discussed in the ASHRAE Journal Podcast.
