Abstract

Buildings account for approximately 40% of the total global energy consumption. Therefore, accurate prediction of building energy consumption is necessary to optimize resource allocation and promote sustainable energy usage. A key challenge in developing building energy consumption models is their adaptability to abrupt changes in consumption patterns owing to extraordinary events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, a two-layer ensemble-learning (EL) model incorporating sliding windows as input features is proposed. The model is a two-layer stacking EL consisting of two base learning methods: (1) support vector regression (SVR), and (2) random forest (RF). Temperature and humidity are included to account for the influence of weather conditions on energy consumption. The proposed model is deployed to forecast building energy consumption both before (November 2019) and during (May – October 2020) the COVID-19 pandemic and is compared with a single machine learning model. The results demonstrate that the EL model outperforms the SVR and RF methods, providing excellent prediction accuracy even during the pandemic when significant changes in energy consumption patterns occurred. The findings also highlight the effectiveness of sliding windows as input features for improving model adaptability. Additionally, the analysis reveals that temperature is more prominent than humidity for improving prediction accuracy.

Abstract

Energy auditing is an essential step in optimizing energy use in commercial buildings. This research explores the application of energy auditing with the Energy Consumption Intensity method to improve energy efficiency in campus buildings. Considering the changes in occupancy and activity patterns in the university environment can provide a comprehensive insight into the associated energy consumption patterns. The audit analyzed the building's energy consumption and identified potential energy savings to improve energy efficiency. Energy data was collected and analyzed to evaluate the building's energy performance. Recommended energy conservation measures include updating the lighting system, optimizing the cooling system, and improving the efficiency of equipment use. This research recommends that campus building managers adopt sustainable practices in energy management, which can lead to reduced operational costs and lower environmental impacts. Thus, the energy audit approach with the IKE method is a relevant and effective strategy for achieving energy conservation goals in the university environment. Based on the analysis, the latest IKE for Labtek V is 38.01 (2021), while the IKE for Labtek VI is 16.75 (2021), showing inefficiency of energy use in both buildings inefficient.
