Smart building management

360-degree building optimization with a positive ROI

If you want to reap the benefits of future-proof real estate, you should start the sustainability process as soon as possible. Not only will tenants and users benefit from this, but it is also attractive for investors. In addition, the law is increasingly strict on large polluters - mainly buildings. But where do you start? Making your building performance tangible starts with energy management. The choice of systems is broad, but one differs from the other. We'll explain it to you more to help you decide.

AI in real estate 4: How Healthy Workers algorithms achieved state-of-the-art

We now know that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are the largest energy consumers in commercial buildings. To reduce emissions, it’s important to address it, and balance is key. We can’t simply reduce everything to zero. Workspaces must also remain healthy and comfortable. Thanks to research on how to combine the best of both worlds, we created a state-of-the-art algorithm. Find out what that means.

AI in real estate 3: Optimizing Dutch buildings with Healthy Workers’ machine learning models

Imagine you work in a building whose systems are entirely AI-controlled. Software knows the current energy tariff and determines the most efficient setup every ten minutes to achieve the desired indoor climate performance. This ensures a continuous balance between costs, comfort, and sustainability. Curious how this is possible? Looking at historical building performance and considering weather, system statuses, light intensity, and current office occupancy. Read on to discover how we use AI at Healthy Workers to conquer the Netherlands.

AI in real estate 2: Significant sustainability subsidy for Healthy Workers

The greatest challenge in combating climate change is achieving energy-neutral real estate by 2050, which is closer than it seems. The sector accounts for 40% of total CO2 emissions. Healthy Workers is committed to reducing that number. Making our systems smarter, faster, and stronger requires time and money. That's where the Just Transition Fund helps, guiding us in the right direction. Since we’re not alone in pursuing energy transition, we’re proud to receive this subsidy.
