Optimizing indoor temperatures – thanks to AI
|
The Empa spin-off viboo has developed a self-learning algorithm for controlling the indoor climate. This enables predictive cooling or heating of buildings, thus saving around one third of energy. Following successful experiments at NEST, the first pilot projects are now being implemented with industrial partners.

How micromobility affects the climate
|
Shared e-scooters and e-bikes transport the image of a climate-friendly mobility solution. ETH researchers have now shown that shared micromobility solutions in Zurich emit more CO2 emissions than the alternatives they replace.
