Successful cases

The E&M AI Lab Tech Talk, hosted by the EMSD, was successfully held on 25 March 2025. The event was aimed at encouraging the trade to develop semantic AI and apply Agentic AI, thereby promoting innovation in building works and smart building management.

During the talk, the EMSD introduced the new AI agent for E&M facilities in buildings, the E&M Agent, and presented a live demonstration of its comprehensive services, including in-depth analysis and information consolidation for maintenance at various venues. Furthermore, two practice notes for AI-ready Building Informatics respectively focus on data quality and semantic modelling were released to provide practical insights and useful information for the trade, fostering trade participation and co-development. Experts from various sectors also discussed during the event the challenges of digital transformation and the potential of Agentic AI in smart buildings, decarbonisation and automation. The event not only helped strengthen innovative collaboration among stakeholders and raise trade standards, but also laid the foundation for future implementation of more innovation and technology (I&T) solutions, advancing the progress of the EMSTF’s third Five-year Strategic Plan.

It is hoped that this exchange can help the trade improve the energy efficiency of works and smart building management, while promoting automation and predictive maintenance. The EMSD has been committed to researching E&M AI applications, and conducting various large-scale events with different organisations. This year, we will once again co-organise the Global AI Challenge for Building E&M Facilities 2025 with the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and Technology to gather AI development forces, foster multiparty collaboration and spark innovative ideas.

The E&M AI Lab is a programme developed by the EMSD in collaboration with government departments/authorities, the trade, academia and research institutes, aims at efficiently forming partnerships and providing an exchange platform for experts and trade practitioners worldwide to share their knowledge and experience of AI applications in E&M facilities in buildings.
