Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence.

80% of the housing stock by 2050 in the UK has already been built. Currently, the UK housing stock contributes 18% of the total UK emissions. Due to the legal requirement of the UK government to achieve net zero by 2050, the housing stock poses a con...

How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process.

The operation of the housing stock in the UK is reported to contribute 18% of the total carbon emissions. The UK is required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. As 80% of the housing stock of 2050 is already built, retrofitting the existing housin... Read More about How artificial intelligence will change the housing retrofit process.
