Deep Learning for Forecasting the Energy Consumption in Public Buildings
share
In this paper we propose a Long Short-Term Memory Network based method to forecast the energy consumption in public buildings, based on past measurements. Our approach consists of three main steps: data processing step, training and validation step, and finally the forecasting step. We tested our method on a data set consisting of measurements taken every half an hour from the main building of the National Archives of the United Kingdom, in Kew and as evaluation metrics we have used Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE).
