Building Potential Energy Savings Estimation Through Portfolio-Based Modeling
摘要
Buildings significantly impact global energy use and emissions. One potential way to improve performance and reduce energy demand is by applying advanced control algorithms. This, however, requires a detailed cost-benefit analysis. We present a data-driven methodology for assessing commercial buildings’ potential savings with advanced control techniques, focusing on the EU context. The approach uses hourly energy consumption data from 15 buildings to identify consumption patterns, cluster buildings, and predict energy savings without the need for physical inspections. The proposed method is validated using shopping malls as a case study.
