Description
An often-overlooked sustainability challenge in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is: What should we do with all existing individual houses? Current technology enables sustainable design of new houses. However, climate change cannot be addressed without tackling the existing building stock. More than 62 million single-family houses need thorough renovation if we are to fulfill the EU climate ambitions by 2050. This means tackling 6,000 houses per day, starting today—in Europe alone! We'll demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI), and generative design will support building owners and architects to quickly come up with new sustainable design options, ready for industrialized prefabrication with standardized elements. In this session, you'll learn how AI can add flexibility in the design with standardized elements. You'll find inspiration for a new balance between standardization and flexibility. We'll show applications for detached houses as well as terraced houses with complex shapes and requirements.
Key Learnings
- Explore the use of AI in prefabricated, sustainable house building.
- Learn about designing a sustainable building concept balancing flexibility and standardization for prefabrication of individual houses.
- Learn about implementing generative design to reach the Sustainable Development Goals in the AEC industry.
- Learn about applying AI in real life without the need for massive amounts of pre-existing data.
