Ambient Intelligence is receiving much attention for realizing smart buildings and smart cities where sensors and algorithms are incorporated in the environment to optimize processes in real-time ranging from in-door climate control to public transport services.

Digital Twins of buildings and urban areas are of use for monitoring and improving operational buildings (HVAC, lighting, solar shading, etc), construction sites (feedback loop with construction site equipment), and for urban flow monitoring (people, goods, traffic).

Prediction has always been of major importance in the built environment, particularly for facilitating informed decision-making in the design and engineering phases. Machine Learning techniques are increasingly adopted to predict behavior of buildings, urban areas and their use (flow monitoring).

Robotics are of increasing importance to construction sites, manufacturing plants, cities and operational buildings, thus transforming the built environment in a semi-automated environment with high-tech robotics in all its aspects.

Based on various machine learning algorithms including Bayesian belief networks and decision trees, an integrated data analytics tool is developed to generate the spatial and temporal information related to travel and activities. By Tao Feng

A Bayesian method for incremental learning an individual鈥檚 preferences based on his or her choice behavior is developed and applied in personal travel information systems. By Theo Arentze

Web-based information systems are developed, which collect various sorts of data about a building in a decentralized manner, including detailed 3D object models, point clouds, image data, semantic data, sensor data. By Pieter Pauwels

Manufacturing of complex geometries (parametric and structurally optimized structures with minimal material use) will be enabled by digital manufacturing techniques, e.g. robotics in construction and additive manufacturing. By Rob Wolfs

By developing extreme scenarios and building mock-up鈥檚, we aim to evolve everyday living spaces to adaptive living organisms that understand and empathize with the user. By Masi Mohammadi

Using ideas behind Linked Data and Semantic Web, allows the AI in charge of handling Autonomous Vehicles to consume valuable information from the surrounding ecosystem in order to achieve more optimal calculation of control parameters of the vehicle while using minimal amount of network resources.

Large-scale monitoring of distributed PV systems in comparison with expected PV output generated by a digital twin network, taking into account dynamic weather conditions, partial shading due to urban surroundings (e.g. from LiDAR data) and the non-linear characteristics of inverters and power systems. By Roel Loonen

The built environment is responsible for about 40% of the worldwide energy and material resources, and housing demands are growing, due to an increase of population, and become more complex. This requires fully optimized renovated and new buildings, and, of utmost importance, also optimized design processes: the products and their conceptualization need to be revolutionized. An open source available C++ toolbox has been developed, which provides super structured and super structure free spatial design representations; expert systems to generate, modify, and assess discipline specific representations; and data analysis and visualization tools.
