In Russia, they began to use AI to control the climate in schools: the system will reduce the fatigue of students

Today, February 3, CNews, citing employees of the company (part of the Samolet group), which is responsible for the Bolshoe Putilkovo residential complex, officially announced a very interesting innovation that was implemented within the framework of the new modern Russian school. The fact is that for the first time in Russia, an educational institution will use an artificial intelligence-based system responsible for managing the entire energy system of the building. The technology is called “Energy Manager Droid” and, according to the authors of the project, it should significantly affect the efficiency of schoolchildren.

The AI-based system will automatically monitor indoor climate conditions and even school air quality. To do this, the technology will independently regulate the rotational speed of the fan motors responsible for the supply and exhaust systems, thereby providing the necessary ventilation of the premises. And in order for the system to work as efficiently as possible, engineers used a digital twin of the building when designing the new school, which made it possible to accurately calculate the future load. As a result, more than three hundred sensors are responsible for monitoring temperature, CO2 levels, humidity, lighting and energy consumption.

“It has been scientifically proven that staying for several hours in a room with a CO2 concentration above 0.06-0.08% in schoolchildren can increase fatigue and reduce concentration. Therefore, the comfortable microclimate of the building, including the temperature and the level of carbon dioxide, directly affect the well-being and academic performance,” said Mikhail Nikitin, director of designing social and cultural facilities of the Samolet group.

Also, students of the new school will be able to observe the operation of the new system and gain the necessary knowledge about modern technologies based on artificial intelligence, as well as about the Internet of things, energy efficiency and green technologies.
