摘要：

Buildings consumes over 70% of electricity and 40% of primary energy in the United States. The penetration of distributed renewable energy systems and smart grid technologies creates the new opportunities and challenges for energy efficiency and reliability.

Building energy forecasting, as the basis of model based building control and design, has attracted more and more attention in both academia and industry. In the past decade, the increasingly development of computating, machine learning, and data mining, has been changing the fundamental approaches for energy forecasting.  

This talk will start with the introduction of fundamental machine learning methods, such as regression and neural networks, and then the state-of-art machine learning tools and platforms, such as SKlearn, and TensorFlow, will be introduced. Besides the theoretical discussion, this talk will also share the hands-on experience and understanding of utilizing machine learning techniques in building energy efficiency as well as renewable energy integration.
