Data-driven fault diagnosis for residential variable refrigerant flow system on imbalanced data environments

Zhenxin Zhou et al.

Summary: The data-driven approach is important for fault detection and diagnosis in variable refrigerant flow systems, but imbalanced class distributions in datasets can impact classification accuracy. A study was conducted to address this issue, concluding that fault detection accuracy in VRF systems is significantly reduced in imbalanced data environments. The proposed PCA-SMOTE method demonstrated improvement and versatility in overcoming this challenge.

Evaluating the impact of data quality on the accuracy of the predicted energy performance for a fixed building design using probabilistic energy performance simulations and uncertainty analysis

Tomas Ekstrom et al.

Summary: Probabilistic building performance simulations are used to evaluate the impact of data quality on the accuracy of predicted energy performance. The study showed that data quality significantly affects the accuracy of predictive models, highlighting the importance of high-quality input models and validation based on probability distributions. Despite well-known building properties, narrowing the performance gap requires larger variation in input data models, resulting in a larger predicted energy performance interval.
