AI IS ON EVERYONE’S LIPS THESE DAYS. HOW DOES STENA FASTIGHETER WORK WITH AI?

Even now, AI is used to control district heating for our properties. With the help of the algorithm, which learns how the building behaves and takes into account the upcoming weather forecast, heating is automatically controlled more precisely according to future conditions.

We are also exploring AI as a solution for optimal use of various energy sources, based on current supply and demand in the buildings and in the energy market.

During the spring, we are also conducting a hackathon with our employees to identify other areas where AI technology can further
develop our operations.

IN YOUR ROLE. DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU ARE PARTICULARLY PROUD AND HAPPY ABOUT JUST NOW?

Most recently, the rapid introduction of AI for district heating, which gives our tenants more consistent indoor temperatures and thus increased comfort. We in turn, are reducing consumption and thus costs and our carbon footprint. It really is a triple-win solution that benefits our tenants, our operations as well as the environment.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING WITH THE DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION?

One of them is to develop – in an ever-changing world – easy-to-use, well-integrated and flexible systems that are at the same time robust and protected against the growing cyber threat.
