Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

This course provides a practical and strategic introduction to how artificial intelligence is transforming hotel engineering, maintenance, and energy management. Designed for engineering leaders, facilities managers, and hotel operations executives, the course focuses on using AI to reduce downtime, extend asset life, optimize energy consumption, and support sustainability and ESG performance.

The course begins with predictive maintenance and asset management. Learners explore how AI uses sensor data such as vibration and temperature to detect equipment issues before failure occurs. Topics include intelligent work order dispatch, digital twin technology for facility mapping, elevator flow optimization, and monitoring the health of critical kitchen and mechanical equipment. The focus is on shifting from reactive maintenance to proactive, data-driven asset care.

The second module examines Autonomous Energy Management Systems (AEMS). Learners will understand how AI optimizes guestroom energy usage, improves chiller plant efficiency, manages peak demand through load shifting, automates lighting scenarios, and integrates renewable energy sources. The module highlights how AI reduces both utility costs and environmental impact.

The course then focuses on water conservation and leak detection. Learners explore acoustic leak detection, smart irrigation systems, graywater monitoring, cooling tower optimization, and usage analytics to prevent damage and reduce water consumption.

A dedicated module addresses Building Management Systems (BMS) and IoT integration. Learners examine cloud-based BMS overlays, indoor air quality optimization, predictive battery management, smart metering and sub-metering, and cybersecurity considerations for connected building systems.

The final module focuses on ESG reporting and financial return on investment. Learners explore automated carbon footprint tracking, AI-supported capital expenditure planning, utility bill auditing, waste management analytics, and certification management for standards such as LEED and BREEAM. The course emphasizes how engineering data supports both sustainability goals and financial performance.
