AI agents serving more than 500 public buildings in France's Côte-d'Or department have reduced total operating costs by 10%, NVIDIA says. The department, Akila and ThinkDeep built the system to support energy management, compliance, safety and climate resilience.

The agents combine sensor readings, infrastructure information and historical data in a locally controlled digital representation of the buildings, using NVIDIA Nemotron, Omniverse and accelerated computing. NVIDIA says document searches now take minutes rather than weeks. Adoption of Cosmos for video data is planned, and a 30% operating-cost reduction is a target at scale.
