Future Decisions Limited is thrilled to announce its successful selection as a grant recipient by the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This grant is a pivotal component of the government’s commitment to advancing sustainable technologies under the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). The support will further propel Future Decisions’ groundbreaking efforts in utilising artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve the critical goal of net zero emissions in the built environment.
London, UK – Future Decisions Limited proudly reveals its recognition as a grantee by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This grant stands as a testament to the government’s dedication to fostering sustainable advancements through the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). With this backing, Future Decisions is poised to accelerate the development of its AI-powered solutions, set to revolutionise energy management in buildings by introducing an AI overlayer for enhanced control. This innovation is engineered to seamlessly integrate with existing building control systems, eliminating the need for additional hardware investments or extensive control reconfigurations. The ultimate objective is to address the decarbonisation challenges inherent in the built environment, with AI-driven solutions playing a pivotal role in driving the UK towards its ambitious net zero emissions target by 2050.
Dr. Richard McElligott, Director of Future Decisions Limited, conveys his enthusiasm: “Our team is elated by the approval of this grant from the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This endorsement serves as validation of our unwavering commitment to leveraging AI as a transformative force, particularly in the domains of energy efficiency and sustainability within the built environment.”
AI-Empowered Building Control: At the core of Future Decisions’ endeavors lies the development of AI algorithms designed to optimise the efficiency of both new and existing building control systems, enhancing overall operational efficiency. The underlying principle revolves around dynamically adjusting parameters such as heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation based on real-time occupancy and environmental metrics, guided by learned models of human and asset behavior. Preliminary findings demonstrate potential energy savings of up to 60%, a significant reduction in carbon footprint and operational expenses for buildings.
Seamless Integration: A fundamental aspect of Future Decisions’ approach is the seamless integration of the AI solution with existing building infrastructure, obviating the need for costly upgrades, additional hardware, or rewriting building management system logic.
Boosting Grid Stability: An additional advantage stemming from optimising energy consumption in buildings is the indirect enhancement of grid stability and generation capacity. The AI-powered solutions possess the capability to anticipate peak demand surges, aligning green generation with building requirements. This bias towards cleaner supply when available aids in minimising demand during peak pollution periods.
Dr. Richard adds: “Future Decisions is enthralled to contribute to UK industry’s carbon emissions reduction efforts and the advancement of eco-friendly innovation through the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI). Our gratitude goes to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero for the grant, and we extend our appreciation to AECOM for their continuous support throughout the project.”
