The AI4_BenchSys’25 workshop aims to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and scalable urban building performance benchmarking. Building on the success of the previous BenchSys series, this fourth edition integrates advances in AI, IoT, and urban-scale analytics to accelerate the digital transition toward sustainable built environments.
The workshop’s central objective is to explore AI-driven, scalable solutions for assessing, modeling, and benchmarking building and urban performance in areas such as energy efficiency, climate adaptation, indoor and outdoor thermal comfort, and occupant well-being. With climate extremes and rapid urbanization placing unprecedented stress on cities, AI4_BenchSys’25 focuses on developing integrated, real-time, and intelligent systems that can manage large-scale data while ensuring privacy, standardization, and interpretability.
BenchSys 2022, 2023, and 2024 progressively broadened the scope from energy benchmarking to include indoor air quality, water use, health, wellness, and climate resilience. The 2025 edition deepens this focus through AI-enhanced urban-scale simulation, benchmarking, and sustainability strategies. The program will feature invited keynote talks, research paper presentations, and a panel discussion involving researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers from across the world to promote dialogue and collaboration for climate-resilient, human-centric cities.
