Talk 1: Context-Aware Predictive Framework for Building Energy Self-Assessment and Optimization

Abstract: It is prevalent that buildings are one of the fastest growing energy-consuming sectors since they account for one-third of the global final energy consumption. Strategies are needed to ameliorate buildings’ energy efficiency to mitigate the impact of this growing demand. The goal of this ongoing work is to develop a context-aware predictive framework to compose and support the automated building energy self-assessment and optimization services. This presentation overviews the proposed framework and details the initial contributions on extending energy-related ontologies for better describing building subsystems and their energy consumption.
