AI Analytics Step In as Energy Standards Tighten and Resources Shrink by Laurie Gilmer

William Attardi on February 17, 2026

Meeting energy and emissions reduction targets, particularly as they become more stringent, can be tough for many facilities. Between the need to operate efficiently, emerging BEPS requirements and balancing limited resources, facilities teams need help identifying where improvements can be made. Enter AI analytic tools, which can analyze building automation data, energy use patterns and even weather data to identify operational inefficiencies, make recommendations for optimizing setpoints and start-up times and identify inconsistencies in performance data. This leads to efficient overall system operations. Advances in AI for facilities……have become part of the toolkit that helps managers meet their goals of having efficient, safety and compliant facilities that meet the needs of the people who occupy them.

Honeywell Study Reveals More Than 80% of Commercial Building Managers Plan to Increase the Use of AI to Optimize Operations

William Attardi on March 8, 2025

Honeywell released the findings of its AI in Buildings study, which revealed that 84% of commercial building decision makers plan to increase their use of AI in the next year to help them improve security, streamline energy management and integrate predictive maintenance. In this study of U.S. building managers and decision makers with more than 250 building occupants, Honeywell found that across property types, respondents are increasingly using AI to help improve process efficiency, productivity and operations. However, since most respondents (92%) reported challenges in hiring skilled, tech-savvy individuals, a greater opportunity remains ahead for building operations to tap into AI’s capabilities to enhance employee training, augment their current workforce and ultimately help upskill labor to support the sector’s rapidly changing needs.  Honeywell study reveals more than 80% of commercial building managers plan to increase the use of ai to optimize operations

 

What Are Stablecoins and How Do They Work?

Stablecoins are less volatile than other cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) and due to crypto assets’ inherent instability, stablecoins are growing in popularity with both crypto and traditional markets. Stablecoins are a type of crypto asset, but one that offers a way to bridge the gap between fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar and cryptocurrencies. Because they are price-stable digital assets that behave like fiat but maintain the mobility and utility of cryptocurrency, stablecoins are a novel solution to crypto volatility: price stability is built directly into the assets themselves.  There are four primary stablecoin types, identifiable by their underlying collateral structure: fiat-backed, crypto-backed, commodity-backed, and algorithmic stablecoins.  What Are Stablecoins and How Do They Work? | Gemini
