on the time of day. This valuable data enables these new- generation buildings to adjust the ventilation, heating and air-conditioning accordingly. This is already happening, with solutions such as Honeywell Forge. The platform deploys machine learning algorithms to control a building’s technical equipment. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) systems are constantly adjusted to achieve two goals that were once difficult to reconcile: reducing the energy footprint while enhancing user comfort. Innovation goes a step further with ARIA, the virtual assistant developed by BrainBox AI. This digital concierge revolutionizes day-to-day building management by combining predictive analysis and smart automation. From early detection of anomalies to energy optimization and direct dialogue with occupants via voice or text interfaces, ARIA represents the next generation of virtual technical managers. This integrated intelligence even opens up new prospects for the end-of-life of buildings. Algorithms can now plan for optimized demolition, identifying materials that can be recovered and coordinating their re-use in future projects. This approach radically transforms traditional demolition into a methodical dismantling process and maximizes opportunities for re-use through a circular economy approach. Artificial intelligence systems are emerging as powerful tools in the transformation of the construction sector, paving the way for more efficient, sustainable and comfortable buildings. This development marks the dawn of augmented architecture, where AI in synergy with human expertise acts as a catalyst to make sustainable construction a reality.
