The Use of Machine Learning for Sustainable and Resilient Buildings

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence to ensure that intelligent and resilient buildings are sustainably developed. The intelligence displayed in buildings by electronic devices and software operated systems is artificial intelligence which perceives the building environment and takes actions aimed at optimizing output in a given context or constraint. A complex, sensitive infrastructure that ensures efficient, cost-effective and environmentally acceptable conditions for every occupant by constantly communicating with its four basic elements: locations (components, frameworks, facilities); processes (automation, control systems), staff (services, users) and management (maintaining, performance) and processes (controlling, systems); and they separate current technologies into two major groups, occupantcentered and energy-centered facilities. The first level approaches that use ML for occupant dimensions, including (1) occupancy and identity estimations, (2) behavior recognition and (3) choice and enforcement estimates. The approach in the second-class category used ML to approximate energy or device-related aspects. It is divided into three categories, (1) estimating the energy profiling and demand, (2) profiling and detection of faults of devices, and (3) sensor inferiority. In this chapter, we focus on guided study, unrestricted learning and improving learning. The main variants, implications of specific parameter choices are explored and we generate standard algorithms. Finally, discuss some of the challenges and opportunities in the built environment to apply machine learning.
