Renovation and Retrofit AI
AI applications for building renovation and retrofit projects.
Definition
Renovation and Retrofit AI applies artificial intelligence to the unique challenges of modifying existing buildings. These systems help understand existing conditions, identify code upgrade requirements, and coordinate new work with existing construction. AI is particularly valuable for analyzing as-built documentation and existing condition surveys.
In Depth
Renovation and retrofit projects work within existing building constraints — existing structure, existing systems, existing materials that may contain hazardous substances. AI assists with the existing condition documentation, the code compliance analysis for existing buildings (which differs from new construction), and the coordination between new work and existing conditions.
Examples
Analyzing existing condition documents
Identifying code upgrade requirements
Coordinating renovation with existing systems
