SUST(AI)N

Distributed AI processing for smart buildings, aiming to achieve awareness and regulatory compliance.

Today’s so-called ‘smart’ buildings utilise a wide range of sensors, actuators, and software programs to make them intelligent. However, they still lack a sense of awareness. The EIC-funded SUST(AI)N project will rectify this by the unparalleled development of precision-sensing AI processing shared across devices (i.e. distributed intelligence), and the flexibility and implementation efficiency of reconfigurable hardware. The integration of these interconnected, self-monitoring systems will enable probabilistic reasoning and, ultimately, the achievement of awareness. Application will make tertiary buildings compliant with regulatory decree 2010/31/EU (European Parliament) which stipulates the necessity for automation control systems by 2025.
