AI Impact Score

35/100

Energy managers are well-positioned in the AI era — AI tools are handling the data-heavy monitoring and reporting tasks that previously consumed most of their time, freeing them for strategic work. However, those who fail to adopt AI-powered building and energy management platforms risk becoming less competitive as organisations expect more from smaller teams.
