Energy house-keeping
Dübendorf, St. Gallen und Thun, 4.3.2021 - Energy management in a house with a solar system is becoming increasingly complex: When do I turn on the heating so that it is nice and cosy in the evening? How much electricity can the hot water tank hold? Will there still be enough energy for the electric car? Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help solve the problem: Researchers at Empa developed an AI control system that can learn all these tasks – and save more than 25 percent energy in the process.
