Energy saving in the digital era: Artificial Intelligence as key resource

Let's dig deeper into these points and see how Artificial Intelligence can address them. The traditional way to save energy has always been to invest in new appliances, new machines, or better infrastructure. For instance, a building can become more energy efficient by investing in better insulation or a better HVAC plant. Or a factory could install a CHP (combined heat and power) solution, or change its machinery for more modern and efficient ones. The common denominator here is that all these initiatives require some degree of investment in physical components that are often quite expensive. We don't discount low-hanging fruit that can bring about substantial gains with limited investment, but these kinds of measures are often already in place.
