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.
