ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Led by Johnson Controls’ Sustainable Infrastructure team, this live insider session highlights how AI is transforming building operations, improving efficiency, sustainability and asset management across University campuses.

Overall, the message is clear: AI is not replacing human expertise but augmenting it, enabling smarter, more cost-effective decisions in campus infrastructure management. However, a thoughtful and pragmatic approach is needed to fully realize the benefits of this emerging technology and avoid getting caught up in the hype or overwhelmed by the pace of change.

  • The history and fundamentals of AI, emphasizing the shift from narrow, task-specific AI to broader applications like generative AI.

  • How AI empowers universities to make smarter, data-driven decisions about campus space allocation and optimize usage
