Abstract

Buildings consume a large amount of energy; it is therefore important to find a better way to manage building energy performance more effectively. The recent developments in data science and machine learning show a good potential to leverage the different sources of data to predict energy consumption. This paper reviews the current research in these areas and proposes a BIM (Building Information Modelling) based approach to provide data and information to train the relevant machine learning (ML) engine. The method has been demonstrated with a daylight illuminance prediction analysis. The presented preliminary result can potentially lead to a more generic tool, where rich data and information embedded in BIM models can be utilized for better decision making.
