Machine Learning and Data Analysis for Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Intelligent Operation, Maintenance, and Optimization of Building Energy Systems introduces data basics, from selecting and evaluating data to the identification and repair of abnormalities. Other sections cover data mining applied to energy forecasting, including long- and short-term predictions, the introduction of occupant-focused behavior analysis, and current methods for supply and demand applications. Case studies are included in each part to assist in evaluation and implementation of these techniques across building energy systems.
Working from the fundamentals of big data analysis to a complete method for building energy assessment, flexibility, and management, this book provides students, researchers, and professionals with an essential, cutting-edge resource on this important technology.
