Abstract

These days, the majority of devices are connected to the Internet of Things. One of the areas that need further research is the smart thermostats’ operation. In this article, we perform an analysis of efficient household heating and air conditioning with smart thermostats. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article that correlates real data from the smart thermostats and weather to predict heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) operation. The main problem that we focus on is the study of overheated and overcooled homes. Our results show that adaptive strategies that learn the weather impact on the house enabled three times reduction of heating time and four times reduction of air conditioning, with the most significant improvement during sunny days.
