Abstract:

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology enhanced energy efficiency solutions are highly demanded and among the most important topics in the related fields, such as smart building/city design, applied energy applications, electrical and electronic engineering, automation and constructions. Three topics are covered in this seminar, including: 1) data-driven fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, 2) energy consumption forecasting problem for individual households and 3) solar energy utilization. First, I will introduce the most up-to-date energy efficiency problems of the above three topics and the motivations of using machine learning techniques to solve these problems. Second, the methodologies that we proposed and developed in the past five years will be briefly described, which include semi-supervised learning, generative adversarial networks, long-short term memory and hybrid deep learning neural networks. Last, the trends of using machine learning technology in the field of building are summarized. I will introduce some on-going projects and future works with my current research team.
