Which Buildings Are Artificial Intelligence-Ready? A Measurement-Based Assessment Framework for AI Question Answering and Actuation

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming the interface to buildings, answering questions and controlling operations, but a building's readiness for them has not been systematically assessed.

Key points

  • First, a building's knowledge graph sets two ceilings.
  • The answerable-readiness ceiling is the share of operational questions its data could answer, and the actuation-readiness ceiling is the share of control actions it exposes.
  • Second, a reference AI agent's accuracy on a fixed set of these questions shows how much of the ceilings is realized.
  • The framework turns "is this building AI-ready?" into an auditable, ranked retrofit question.
