Jean-Simon gave us a clear picture of how AI can make buildings smarter by cutting wasted energy, extending equipment life, and lowering costs without sacrificing comfort.
I think there's really two pieces that are game-changing that were raised in the conversation.
The first is train AI control, right? And it's such an interesting solution because it's the cornerstone of Trane Technologies and Brainbox.
It's kind of the first real collaboration that's coming out of our partnership.
It's going to dramatically change the way in which buildings manage their energy and just reduce energy consumption dramatically.
Aria is the brand new game changing virtual building agent that was recently launched.
And it's just going to change the paradigm that exists between buildings and facility management, just making it so much more efficient.
Well, I'm personally super excited, but I also acknowledge that people are worried about AI, right? It's automation, it's job insecurity, it's even losing their own voice to algorithms.
But here's the paradox that I'm seeing, right? Because just by talking about it, debating it, reflecting on it, we're doing exactly what humans have always done to solve big problems.
It's something that's there to help humans and it has to be responsible and we have to do it carefully and intentionally.
