To conserve energy, AI clears up cloudy forecasts

Eurekalert  February 6, 2019
To manage energy systems in buildings researchers at Cornell University have developed a new approach which predicts the accuracy of the weather forecast using a machine learning model trained with years’ worth of data on forecasts and actual weather conditions. They combined that predictor with a mathematical model that considers building characteristics including the size and shape of rooms, the construction materials, the location of sensors and the position of windows. They applied the smart control system to an old building on campus to demonstrate that it could reduce energy usage by up to 10 percent…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
