The rapid depletion of natural sources of energy, coupled with increasing global population has triggered the emergence of various techniques and strategies for building energy consumption prediction. According to information from existing body of knowledge, this paper systematically brings to fore the application areas of building energy consumption prediction (i.e. well-established and emerging), the relationships between these areas and the ways in which authors integrate the current spate of techniques. Based on direct implications of buildings on global energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, this information makes it possible to identify trends, strengths and limitations in this context, thereby enabling the centralisation of activities required for future studies. This study follows several well-documented guides for conducting logical reviews of primary articles concerning main topics of building energy …
