From Research to Climate-Tech: AI-Assisted Decision Support for Net-Zero Buildings

How can research-driven digital innovation accelerate the transition towards net-zero buildings? This session introduces NZOB (Net Zero Optimized Buildings), an AI-assisted decision-support platform developed from doctoral research to support early-stage building design decisions. Through a practical demonstration, the session will explore energy performance assessment, design optimisation, and carbon reduction opportunities, particularly in hot and arid climates. It will also highlight opportunities for pilot projects, partnerships, and translating academic research into scalable climate-tech solutions.
