Workshop co-financed by Omelet Project PID2023-152461OB-I00 funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/and FEDER, European Union.
BEE-AI is a workshop on artificial intelligence applied to urban climate adaptation and the decarbonisation of buildings. It will be held on November 26, 2026 in Lleida, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the BEE Group, the Innovation in Buildings, Energy and Environment Unit of CIMNE. The workshop will bring together researchers, engineers and professionals working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, urban energy systems and climate science. A space will be offered to present and discuss advanced methodologies that combine physical models with data analysis techniques, such as machine learning, neural networks and statistical inference. The applications will deal with areas of adaptation to the urban climate, the decarbonisation of buildings, solar energy and distributed energy resources, with the aim of promoting the exchange of ideas on current challenges and future lines of research.
