The Air Handling Units (AHU), as critical components in building energy management, demand rigorous performance monitoring to ensure indoor comfort and energy efficiency. However, prolonged sensor operation often leads to malfunctions and measurement drifts due to insufficient maintenance, resulting in data gaps and anomalies. These issues pose significant challenges to system operational efficiency, occupant comfort, and energy consumption regulation. To address this dilemma, this paper innovatively leverages Bayesian inference techniques, developing a sophisticated likelihood function distance model. This model achieves precise imputation of missing data and effective rectification of anomalous data, thereby mitigating the issue of error accumulation associated with frequent reliance on historical data.Furthermore, the study exploits the intricate coupling relationships among multiple physical variables within the AHU systems to construct a comprehensive analytical model. This approach reduces the dependence on historical data for mathematical fitting and enhances the reliability of predicted data. Consequently, this paper presents an efficient methodology for handling missing and anomalous sensor data in AHU systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the relative error for reconstructing single-variable missing data remains below 7 %, while the relative error for reconstructing multi-variable missing data is even lower, at 3 %. These findings affirm the practical applicability of the methodology in calibrating anomalous sensor data within the building energy management domain.
