AI Energy Usage Prediction
AI systems that predict building energy consumption for design optimization.
Definition
AI Energy Usage Prediction uses machine learning to forecast how buildings will consume energy based on design decisions, climate data, and occupancy patterns. These systems can quickly evaluate thousands of design options to identify configurations that minimize energy use while meeting performance requirements. AI energy prediction enables data-driven decisions during early design when the opportunity to influence energy performance is greatest.
Examples
