Environment, Development and Sustainability - Call for Papers
Big Data Analytics based Artificial Intelligence for Environment and Sustainability
The concept of environmental and sustainability aims to satisfy present-day needs for housing, working environments, and infrastructure without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs in times to come. With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics, there is a huge paradigm shift in how environmental data are used for sustainable cities and societies, especially by applying intelligent algorithms. Energy savings at BBVA’s headquarters are 5,766,731 kWh a year, equivalent to 1,900 households, which also reduces CO2 emission by a 1,430-metric ton per year. The building’s sustainable design and equipment are not solely responsible for this success: tools powered by artificial intelligence have also been used to optimize energy usage.
One of the most significant challenges facing humanity, and hence the Big Data scientist face, is not obtaining the data but properly use an existing intelligent algorithm. For example, when there is sufficient natural light coming into the work areas, the lights near the windows can adapt, reducing the light they emit, which can be achieved with a simple bio-inspired algorithm. On the other hand, with intelligent sensors measuring temperatures, air pollutants, and water poising in urban and rural areas, we can determine the precise time for adequately treating the air or water and raise an alert when certain thresholds are exceeded. These air/water treatment units are responsible for letting air/water from outside and feeding the climate control system. Artificial intelligence and green algorithms contribute to improved energy efficiency and the achievement of sustainable development goals.
