AI控建筑能耗需新软件工程方法,因错误会浪费能源且影响舒适度。

Software Engineering for AI-driven Building Operation

  • 提出针对物理系统失效的AI软件工程新框架
  • 强调控制失误将导致能源浪费与设备损耗
  • 适合智能建筑与人机交互系统开发者参考

建筑运行能效低下。人工智能驱动的控制系统通过优化和预测控制带来潜在收益,但在真实建筑中部署时暴露出显著的软件工程挑战。传统AI软件工程关注用户体验下降,而建筑环境不同:错误控制决策会不可逆地浪费能源、违背居住者舒适性或加速设备老化。尽管严重安全故障罕见(因建筑自动化系统本身具备容错性),但即使微小故障也具有物理性和持久性,从根本上改变AI软件工程的需求。基于两个跨学科研究项目(土木工程与计算机科学),聚焦于建筑运行的AI优化,我们识别出当前SE4AI中缺失的关键视角,阻碍了AI系统在建筑中的成功部署。本文分享经验教训与最佳实践,并讨论对建筑运行及更广泛网络物理系统工程的深远影响。工作提出了一个面向具有物理后果系统的SE4AI基础,未来研究需验证此方向。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Building operations are energy-inefficient. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven control systems promise benefits through optimization and predictive control, but deploying them in real buildings reveals a significant software engineering (SE) challenge. SE for AI practices assume digital environments where failures mean poor user experience. Buildings are different. A bad control decision wastes energy irreversibly, violates occupant comfort, or accelerates equipment wear. Although actual safety-critical failures are rare, as real building automation systems are inherently fault-tolerant, the physical and lasting nature of even minor failures fundamentally changes SE4AI requirements. Rooted in two interdisciplinary research projects in civil engineering and computer science that target the AI-driven optimization of building operations, we identify the missing perspectives in SE4AI that currently stymie the successful deployment of AI-based systems for building operations. We further share lessons learned and best practices, and discuss broader implications for engineering AI-driven building operations and cyber-physical systems more generally. Our work proposes a foundation for SE4AI in systems where failure has physical consequences - one the research agenda below will need to validate.
