Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems account for a large share of the energy consumed in commercial buildings. Simple strategies such as adjusting HVAC set point temperatures can lead to significant energy savings at no additional financial costs. Despite their promising results, it is currently unclear if such operation strategies can have unintended consequences on other building...
Sustainable building performance requires the integration of various metrics such as energy consumption, thermal comfort levels, occupants’ wellbeing, and productivity. Despite their interdependence, these metrics have been mostly evaluated independently, overlooking potential tradeoffs that can occur between them (e.g., energy conservation efforts and thermal comfort). In addition, human-related...
Building Performance Simulation (BPS) is an established method used in the design phase of buildings to predict energy consumption and guide design choices. Despite their advanced abilities to model complex building systems, BPS tools typically fail to account for different and changing energy use characteristics of building occupants, contributing to important prediction errors. In parallel, Agent-Based...
Day-ahead electricity load forecasts are presented for the ISO-NE CA area. Four different methods are discussed and compared, namely seasonal autoregressive moving average (SARIMA), seasonal autoregressive moving average with exogenous variable (SARIMAX), random forests (RF) and gradient boosting regression trees (GBRT). The forecasting performance of each model was evaluated by two metrics, namely...
