Energy is the lifeblood of modern societies. In the past decades, the world's energy
consumption and associated CO 2 emissions increased rapidly due to the increases in …

Building energy use prediction plays an important role in building energy management and
conservation as it can help us to evaluate building energy efficiency, conduct building …

This paper studies and analyzes the energy consumption of hotel buildings by establishing
a support vector machine energy consumption prediction model. The support vector …

Energy consumption models play an integral part in energy management and conservation,
as it pertains to buildings. It can assist in evaluating building energy efficiency, in carrying …

We develop a statistical machine learning framework to study the effect of eight input
variables (relative compactness, surface area, wall area, roof area, overall height …

This study presents a methodology to forecast diurnal cooling load energy consumption for
institutional buildings using data driven techniques. The cases for three institutional …

Energy simulation results for buildings have significantly deviated from actual consumption
because of the uncertainty and randomness of occupant behavior. Such differences are …

Abstract Building Information Modeling (BIM), as a rising technology in the Architecture,
Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, has been applied to various research topics …

Occupancy information in a building is critical in terms of indoor environmental quality,
energy consumption and building energy simulation. However, it is not easy to gather and …

Nowadays, heating energy demand has become a significant estimator used during the
design stage of any new building. In this paper we are proposing a model to predict the …
