AI technology is not a concept, but a tangible and perceptible service to our lives. Recently, Baidu Administration Department, System Department, Baidu Cloud and other departments jointly engaged in a major event: using artificial intelligence to land an intelligent building project in Baidu Science Park K2. According to Baidu's official introduction, there is a mysterious place in B3 downstairs of Baidu K2, which is filled with all kinds of refrigeration equipment, including refrigeration units and pumps that make a lot of noise, and a two-story cold storage tank, which is the freezing station. Baidu's comfortable and cool office environment is attributed to it.
The equipment of refrigeration station is a big energy consumer. During the cooling season from May to September in 20 16, the electric energy consumption of refrigeration equipment reached 4,230,588KWH! K2 intelligent building project is to apply Baidu's energy-saving experience in Yangquan data center to this refrigeration station.
This figure can be understood as follows: the monthly electricity consumption of the Science Park K2-K51=141the annual electricity consumption of ordinary families! So intelligent building came into being.
After five months of intense work, the intelligent building project was successfully put into production in mid-June. After running for one month, it has saved about 250,000 kWh of electricity, and it is expected that it will help the cold station of Baidu Science Park to reduce the electricity consumption by more than 6.5438+0.000 kWh every year in the future.
Baidu said that intelligent buildings are a 1 big market with a market scale of over 10 billion. K2 Freezing Station in Science Park is only the first step of Baidu related projects. In the future, we will continue to cooperate with leading building automation manufacturers in the industry and continue to export Baidu's capabilities in energy management, Internet of Things, face recognition and so on. , and strive to make intelligent buildings simpler.
Nowadays, more and more Baidu AI, such as face-brushing payment, small robot, mobile sign-in and wireless screen projection, have been everywhere in baidu edifice and Science Park.
