What happens when sustainability researchers define key terms related to heritage renovation and sustainability with the help of artificial intelligence tools, asks Dr Nina Hunter in The Science Matters
Dr Nina Hunter in The Science Matters writes:
Across Europe, the challenge of climate change is increasingly tied to the future of its historic built environment. Nearly one-third of the continent’s building stock comprises heritage structures that require renovation to meet climate targets… Technical experts from different fields are often speaking different languages, even when they are all using English…
A recent study… highlights how artificial intelligence can help overcome this overlooked barrier…
…Climate change mitigation increasingly depends on transdisciplinary research… a communication hazard that can lead to fragmented cooperation and slowed decision-making…
The European CALECHE research project, which investigates low-emission renovation strategies for historic buildings in France, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland, brought together specialists from eighteen organizations representing architecture, engineering, heritage conservation, manufacturing, and research institutions… tasked with designing a decision support tool…
… AI alone fails: Human expertise still shapes the meaning of technical terms…
