The paper reviews 66 studies on large language models (LLMs) applied to HVAC operations in building energy systems, categorizing them by application and method families and evaluating their evidence realism and deployment readiness. It finds that most work focuses on building energy modelling, with only four studies reaching pilot-level evidence and none reporting sustained operational deployment. LLMs are currently best suited as semantic and workflow layers—such as point‑name normalisation and document‑grounded operator support—rather than autonomous HVAC controllers, and future research should target field‑validated benchmarks and safe, low‑latency LLM‑MPC/RL integrations.

PermitGPT is a generative‑AI framework that transforms unstructured construction permit descriptions into structured outputs for safety hazard identification, permit requirement specification, and community impact assessment. It aligns data from the NYC Department of Buildings, OSHA, and NYC 311 to create 90,000 prompt‑response pairs, fine‑tunes three open‑weight language models, and evaluates them on 2,833 test cases, reporting complementary performance across inference speed, lexical overlap, and semantic alignment. The study presents an initial AI‑assisted approach to construction governance and outlines future evaluation and validation directions.

The pro-team at LLMs4OL 2026 presented a system for ontology learning that tackles both the End-to-End Flagship Task (Task A) and the Ontology Extension Reuse Task (Task B). Their approach uses an offline retrieval‑augmented few‑shot prompting pipeline with Qwen2.5‑14B‑Instruct and MiniLM‑L6‑v2 for retrieval, selecting top‑5 examples for Task A and top‑2 for Task B, and applies a left‑truncated context‑windowing strategy to keep task instructions in long prompts. For Task B, generated triples are filtered deterministically by a vocabulary constraint, keeping triples that involve at least one term from the closed vocabulary and removing duplicates of the initial ontology, achieving high scores in Semantic Graph Similarity, Term‑Typing F1, and Taxonomy Discovery F1, though no non‑taxonomic relations were extracted.
