Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...
