Data Mining and Machine Learning in Building Energy Analysis

The energy consumption of a building has, in recent years, become a determining factor during its design and construction. With carbon footprints being a growing issue, it is important that buildings be optimized for energy conservation and CO2 reduction. This book therefore presents AI models and optimization techniques related to this application.

The authors start with a review of recent models for the prediction of building energy consumption: engineering methods, statistical methods, a...
