AI driven simulations for sustainable urban development

In the face of rapid urbanization and environmental challenges, the quest for sustainable urban development has never been more critical. This masterclass, hosted by Stefan Mordue—Senior Digital Consultant at Cohesive and Director of the Master's in Global BIM Management at ZIGURAT—features insights from Angelos Chronis and Oana Taut, founders of infrared.city.

Infrared.city is an AI-driven platform that revolutionizes urban planning by providing real-time environmental performance feedback on design proposals. Their technology enables architects, planners, and policymakers to make informed decisions that promote climate resilience and sustainability.

The masterclass will delve into the following technical aspects:

• AI-Powered Environmental Simulations: Explore how infrared.city's machine learning models deliver instant analyses of factors such as wind speed, solar radiation, and sunlight hours, significantly reducing simulation time and computational costs.

• Integration with Design Workflows: Understand the seamless integration of AI simulations into existing CAD environments, allowing continuous feedback throughout the design process without disrupting traditional workflows.

• Case Studies and Applications: Review real-world applications where AI-driven simulations have informed urban planning decisions, leading to more sustainable and resilient city designs.

By attending this masterclass, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge digital tools and methodologies that are transforming urban planning and contributing to the development of sustainable cities.
