In typical residential construction, it has been common for decades to provide thermal protection at the top of the structure by insulating the top-floor ceiling. However, when a similar design is adopted for structures with low-sloped roofs (such as 0.25:12 air gap at the top of the space is permitted.

The recent innovation of integrating phase change material (PCM), a well-established technology, into ceiling panels has generated significant interest. By passively moderating indoor temperature fluctuations, thermal mass helps make building structures more resilient to heat waves and power outages.

Machine learning allows IT systems to improve themselves by independently “learning” from data using statistical methods. Robotic systems can now make entire skyscrapers grow out of the ground, and research is continuing steadily. Many offices still shy away from the high costs of BIM software.
