A Hyper Parametrized Deep Learning Model for Analyzing Heating and Cooling Loads in Energy Efficient Buildings

Abstract

The huge increase in energy consumption in recent decades, has made it cumbersome to anticipate energy usage in the residential sector. However, despite substantial advancements in computation and simulation, the modelling of residential building energy use is still in need of improvement for efficient and reliable solutions. To this end, the overarching objective of this research study is to construct a self-adaptive model (HBO-DL) for predicting the amounts of heating and cooling loads in residential buildings. The developed HBO-DL model is envisioned on coupling Bayesian optimization with deep learning neural network. Five statistical metrics of mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean squared error (RMSE), root mean squared logarithmic error (RMSLE), mean absolute error (MAE) and normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE), are leveraged to measure and test the accuracies of the developed HBO-DL. Analytical results explicated that the developed HBO-DL model can endorse informed decision-making and foster energy conservation in built environment.
