Evaluation of data-driven thermal models for multi-hour predictions using residential smart thermostat data

Brent Huchuk et al.

Summary: Researchers used machine learning and thermostat data to build customized thermal models for multi-hour predictions. They found that using lasso and ridge regression combined with features such as thermostat runtime and solar energy, along with 20 minutes of historical data, provided the lowest prediction errors.

The effect of building retrofit measures on CO2 emission reduction - A case study with US medium office buildings

Yingli Lou et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of building retrofit measures on CO2 emissions reduction in different locations, finding that the effects of improving lighting and equipment efficiency on emission reduction are significantly influenced by climate, and the most energy-efficient measure may not necessarily be the most effective emission reduction measure.

Identifying whole-building heat loss coefficient from heterogeneous sensor data: An empirical survey of gray and black box approaches

Gaby Baasch et al.

Summary: This paper investigates seven different methods for characterizing the whole-building heat loss coefficient, showing that deep learning methods outperform others in accuracy and robustness. However, all approaches have limitations, suggesting the need for further research to develop reliable and scalable methods for characterizing quantitative envelope properties.
