ARIA is the World's First Generative AI-Powered Virtual Building
Assistant Designed to Enhance Building Efficiency and Reduce
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
IRVINE,
Calif., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Caylent, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner
that enables companies to evolve their business through artificial
intelligence (AI), cloud modernization, and data-backed solutions,
today announced its contribution to the world's first generative
AI-powered solution that supports the reduction of energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in commercial
buildings.
BrainBox AI, a pioneer in building technology, works with
commercial real-estate owners and managers to improve the
efficiency and sustainability of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems using advanced AI. The company supports
real-estate clients in various sectors, including office buildings,
hotels, commercial retail, grocery stores, airports, and more. With
the support of Caylent and AWS, BrainBox AI developed ARIA
(Artificial Responsive Intelligent Assistant), an AI-powered
assistant for intuitive HVAC and building data analytics and
operations management. In building this solution, Caylent utilized
Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers a choice of
high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies
via a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities
organizations need to build generative AI applications with
security, privacy, and responsible AI. Caylent also leveraged
Anthropic's state-of-the-art model Claude for a conversational
interface and generative AI capabilities, and deployed ARIA on AWS
for seamless data ingestion, analysis, and reporting. ARIA,
together with BrainBox AI's core technology, can reduce HVAC energy
costs by up to 25% and greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%.
"The pathway to our generative AI innovation was made possible
by working with Caylent and using Amazon Bedrock," said
Jean-Simon Venne, Chief Technology
Officer & Cofounder, BrainBox AI. "Caylent has deep experience
in Amazon Bedrock, industry-leading large language models (LLMs)
including Anthropic's Claude, and production-grade generative AI
deployments. As a result, ARIA is an industry-defining technology,
and together with our AI for HVAC solution, will have a momentous
impact on furthering our mission to decarbonize and optimize the
built environment with autonomous AI."
"It's exciting to see innovators like BrainBox AI and Caylent
leverage the full breadth of AWS services in the development of a
first-of-its-kind generative AI-powered virtual building
assistant," added Vasi Philomin,
Vice President of Generative AI at AWS. "Built using Amazon
Bedrock, BrainBox AI's ARIA shows tremendous promise towards
accelerating and improving the way building management understands
and makes decisions around their HVAC and energy management
systems."
ARIA enables facilities managers and building operators to query
and command their building's equipment, from rooftop units (RTUs)
to chillers, boilers, and more through voice or text, transforming
building data into precise insights and strategic actions in
real-time.
In building ARIA, Caylent's data and AI experts worked
collaboratively with BrainBox AI's CTO, data scientists, engineers,
and DevOps specialists to understand BrainBox AI's goals and plan
out the deployment of AWS tooling for data ingestion, report
generation, conversational interfacing, and autonomous action with
HVAC systems. The solution uses multiple LLMs, including
Anthropic's Claude for the majority of workloads, which was chosen
for its accuracy in generating SQL Queries from natural language.
These are combined with BrainBox AI's advanced algorithms and
building data to provide complex data analytics and visualizations
as well as generate performance and efficiency reports.
"One of the distinct benefits of Amazon Bedrock is the ability
to efficiently switch between various LLMs," said Randall Hunt, VP, Cloud Strategy and Innovation,
Caylent. "By leveraging multiple types of compute across AWS Lambda
and AWS Fargate, we're able to fulfill user requests with the most
efficient tool for various intents. ARIA is able to query thousands
of data points and produce actionable results that enable building
and facilities managers to responsibly drive energy usage towards a
more sustainable future."
"We're proud to be collaborating with BrainBox AI and AWS in
putting generative AI to work in the pursuit of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions," said Lori Williams,
CEO, Caylent. "Our goal at Caylent is to continually help clients
evolve their business, and in this case, evolve industry benchmarks
and standards for sustainability."
