Future PropTech Miami - Energy, Water and Space Intelligence

Energy, Water and Space Intelligence

By Nasly Duarte

Last week I attended an amazing insightful event. and i want to tell you about my trip to the Future PropTech Miami because my mind is completely blown! As an AI student I am always looking for the next big thing and this conference absolutely delivered. We need to talk about three incredible innovators that are completely revolutionizing how we use energy, water, and space.

First up is Akila. They are tackling energy waste using some seriously advanced AI technology. Specifically they rely on computer vision and machine learning algorithms. Imagine a digital twin of a building which is basically a perfect 3D virtual copy. Akila uses computer vision through a network of cameras and sensors to see exactly how energy is flowing and where it is being wasted in real time. Their AI software runs complex simulations to optimize cooling systems and lighting automatically. It is literally building an artificial brain for real estate!

Next I listened to Frederico Teixeira Egli talk about space intelligence. Have you ever wondered if a building is actually using its square footage properly? Frederico discussed how AI spatial analytics can find the absolute best use for a building footprint. By feeding foot traffic data and occupancy metrics into predictive algorithms the software can redesign floor plans to maximize utility. This means fewer wasted empty rooms and a much better flow of people. The AI learns how humans naturally move and adapts the space to fit our exact needs.

Finally we have Seth Guttenberg who is the CEO and cofounder of arkIQ. If you know me, you know that i can live with out electricity but I cant live without water. arkIQ built an incredibly smart water detection machine. They use internet-connected sensors combined with AI anomaly detection. The software learns the normal baseline water flow of a building. The exact moment a pipe starts leaking or water is being wasted the AI flags the anomaly before a catastrophic flood happens. It is predictive maintenance at its absolute finest saving millions of gallons of water!

We really need to pay attention to these technologies right now. Whether you are a solopreneur, a creator, or managing a massive operation, if we do not start looking at how we use energy, water, and space in both our commercial buildings and our own homes we are heading toward a very unfortunate future. The tools are here. AI is giving us exactly what we need to build smarter systems. 

Let us start building them today!
