AI readiness for the built environment
Measured sustainability
Assess energy and carbon proposals against a documented baseline. Review the data, operating conditions and assumptions before a pilot. Report measured results and material limits.
Review whether design, commissioning and handover records can support the owner’s intended decisions. Identify missing information, access constraints and the people responsible before proposing automation.
Design and handover readiness
Facility Management
Start with one operational decision. Review asset records, data quality, system access and the consequences of error. Define human approvals and exception handling before a limited pilot. Test any maintenance, energy or service benefit against the actual baseline.
Make asset and capital priorities easier to explain. Review lifecycle evidence, responsibilities and uncertainty before deciding what to fund or automate. We partner with the Building Lifecycle Management Initiative (BLMI), an industry initiative co-founded by IFMA and Autodesk.
Lifecycle and capital planning
Human oversight
Name the people who approve, review and can stop a proposed action. Define the boundaries of a pilot before giving AI greater authority.
Use the Building Constitution to review a defined AI decision: what evidence supports it, who is accountable and what limits apply. Review explainability, human oversight, bias and exceptions in the actual workflow.
Document acceptance criteria and unresolved questions. Compare a limited pilot with the existing process before deciding whether to expand.
Building Constitution review
Evidence and accountability
Record what is known, what is missing and who approves the next step. Keep research, developing frameworks and planning assumptions distinct from demonstrated client outcomes.
