Talking SCADA

Letting buildings explain their hidden energy waste in plain language

University of Skövde · Blekinge Institute of Technology · AUG 2025 – MAY 2026

Academic product case exploring how AI could help SCADA systems — software that monitors and controls a building's ventilation, heating, cooling, measurements and alarms — explain hidden energy waste, likely causes and next investigation steps in plain language. I developed the concept from user need to MVP scope, requirements, prioritisation, positioning and business model; it is not a launched product.
