IBPSA-USA Boston Chapter: SimBuild Pregame
Machine Learning and Generative AI Applications for Energy Modeling
Join the IBPSA-USA Boston Chapter to “Learn & Connect” at our special SimBuild Pregame event! We are thrilled to host industry expert Krishnan Gowri for a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is transforming building performance analysis.
What to Expect
This will not be a standard, one-way presentation. Krishnan has specifically requested to make this a highly interactive session. If you are currently exploring or working with Machine Learning and Generative AI in your energy modeling workflows, you are strongly encouraged to bring your current problems, share real-world examples, and actively participate in the discussion!
