Project for advanced monitoring of multiple buildings with the use of fine-tuned AI

Description

Sentinel is a tool meant to simplify the way multiple buildings are monitored, optimized, and controlled. Using optimized Artificial Intelligence models, this platform seamlessly integrates the current environment with IoT sensors and data analytics to deliver efficiency and sustainability. It was created as a proof-of-concept and won the AI Integration award.

Key Features

1. Multi-Building Integration

   • Comprehensive monitoring across multiple facilities with scalable AI algorithms.
   • Centralized control enabled by a robust edge-to-cloud architecture.

2. Dynamic Energy Optimization

   • Real-time energy usage tracking with advanced predictive analytics.
   • Adaptive demand-response management to achieve peak energy efficiency.
   • Integration with renewable energy systems like solar, wind, and grid feedback loops.

3. Environmental Intelligence

   • AI-enhanced monitoring of HVAC, lighting, water usage, and occupancy patterns.
   • Continuous assessment of indoor air quality (IAQ) using machine vision and smart metering.
   • Automated compliance with green building certifications such as LEED and WELL.

4. Advanced Analytics Dashboard

   • Intuitive, AI-curated visualizations accessible via secure web and mobile interfaces.
   • Proactive alert systems using natural language processing (NLP) for actionable insights.

5. Self-Learning AI Systems

   • Reinforcement learning models to autonomously adapt to building-specific patterns.
   • Integration with digital twin technology for virtual simulations and testing.
