Sam Ramadori, CEO of BrainBox AI, helps us explore the evolving landscape of AI and its practical applications, especially in energy management and sustainability in built environments. He says AI has the potential to significantly reduce energy waste.

BrainBox AI uses deep learning, cloud-based computing, algorithms and a proprietary process to support a 24/7 self-operating building that requires no human intervention and enables maximum energy efficiency.

SAM:  It's like driving your car: instead of going 50 miles an hour on the highway for several hours, which is the efficient thing to do, Imagine you drove that car and you go zero to 80, and then you bring it back down to 20, and then you go back to 72 and then you bring it back. If you did that, your gas consumption would be a disaster. Right. And that's what systems do today because they don't know what's coming.

 SAM: Tt's exciting times, uh, to be in a firm like yours or ours because what used to be an impossible task to justify the investment to A CFO is now getting easier every week because they're seeing examples we had that connected to this, and we were able to collect that data in efficient manner, and so on and so forth.

 SAM: That's where I see AI being able to help us leapfrog; it's going to not necessarily replace people as much as it's going to make us so much better at decision making by presenting us all of the relevant options in order to make a change.

SAM: Buildings account for a huge amount of emissions globally, period, right? Huge percentage. And then number two, there's studies out there—some of them might be a little bit dated—but on average, your average building wastes about 30% of energy. Right? Literally wastes 30%. Maybe things have gotten better in the last 10 years, let's say, and it's 20%. It's still a huge number. AI will allow us to go and tackle those problems so that buildings—we don’t have the average waste of 20%—we have the average waste of 2%.
