Smart AI Technologies You Didn’t Know Were Operating in Your Building
With advancements in artificial intelligence, AI-driven technologies are transforming our commercial buildings and real estate spaces, enhancing everything from security to energy efficiency. From radar sensors to 24/7 security robots, these innovations are no longer futuristic concepts—they’re reality. Here are some of the most impressive AI technologies already operating in buildings today.
“AI is reshaping the real estate landscape, allowing us to reimagine the way properties operate and benefit people,” said Andre Granello, CEO of Ironsides Group.
AI Occupancy Detection
Occupancy detection technology powered by thermal imaging and AI has revolutionized how we monitor spaces. With tech like Calumino’s thermal sensors, buildings can monitor the number of occupants in a room without compromising privacy. This data is vital for optimizing HVAC and lighting, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing user comfort.
Real-Time Health Monitoring for Care Facilities
Radar-based sensors like those from Xandar Kardian are improving healthcare and aged care facilities by passively monitoring vital signs such as heart and respiratory rates. This technology can predict health events hours before they occur, making it essential for healthcare infrastructure and the overall real estate sector, especially as healthcare properties continue to expand.
Water Leak Detection with AI
Water leaks can cost buildings millions in damage and waste. WINT Water Intelligence addresses this with AI-driven sensors that detect abnormal water usage patterns. These systems detect leaks early, preventing significant property damage and aligning with sustainability goals, which is a core focus of Ironsides Group’s eco-friendly solutions.
Round-the-Clock Robot Security
Automation in security is evolving, with companies like Kabam Robotics deploying robots that patrol buildings autonomously, recording security data and monitoring facility conditions. These robots can even integrate with elevators and access systems, providing continuous security while allowing human guards to focus on higher-priority tasks.
Construction Progress Monitoring with AI
Managing large construction projects can be challenging. With OpenSpace’s 360-degree reality capturing, project managers can track progress in real time, reducing delays. This AI-driven technology quickly organizes images for better project oversight, helping firms meet deadlines and optimize project management.
Cost Savings Generated by AI
The economic benefits of AI extend to cleaning and maintenance. According to a recent CBRE report, robotic vacuums are lowering maintenance costs by automating routine cleaning tasks. For commercial landlords, the potential savings on cleaning services—estimated to average around 15% of outgoings—make AI investment highly attractive.
The Future of AI in Real Estate
AI is transforming real estate and commercial property management, making buildings smarter, safer, and more sustainable. As Andre Granello of Ironsides Group highlighted, this transformation enables properties to operate more efficiently and benefit tenants and owners alike. With these innovations, the future of smart buildings is here.
By integrating AI technologies, companies like Ironsides Group are leading the way in creating intelligent, efficient, and secure buildings that not only enhance operational efficiency but also contribute to a sustainable future for real estate.
