Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems operated under faulty condition often result in extra energy consumption (up to 30% for commercial buildings) and cost, less comfort control and bad indoor/outdoor air quality, especially when multiple faults happening simultaneously. This study presents a novel hybrid strategy that combines support vector machine (SVM) and multi-label (ML) technique for the automated detection and diagnosis of multiple-simultaneous faults (MSF), and elaborates its application to a building chiller. One of the great advantages ML has against the mono-label (mL) technique is that no MSF data are needed for model training while a good FDD performance for MSF could be obtained. Two individual chiller faults and one of their combinations (an MSF) were investigated. Detailed studies on the use of three features sets and the training of the model with/without normal or/and MSF data were conducted and compared with the mL-SVM model. The results show that the ML-SVM model trained on the normal and two individual faults has an excellent performance, especially when the eight fault-indicative features (Feat8) were employed (correct rate over 99.9%). Feat8 behaves still excellent even when Gaussian white noise has been added to the test data. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Estimating omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed with direction-dependent building morphologies

Qi Li, Jiayu Chen, Xiaowei Luo

Summary: This study focuses on the vertical wind conditions as a main external factor that limits the energy assessment of high-rise buildings in urban areas. Traditional tools for energy assessment of buildings use a universal vertical wind profile estimation, without taking into account the unique wind speed in each direction induced by the various shapes and configurations of buildings in cities. To address this limitation, the study developed an omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed estimation method using direction-dependent building morphologies and machine learning algorithms.

Towards a blockchain and machine learning-based framework for decentralised energy management

Xiaojun Luo, Lamine Mahdjoubi

Summary: This paper presents an integrated blockchain and machine learning-based energy management framework for multiple forms of energy allocation and transmission among multiple domestic buildings. Machine learning is used to predict energy generation and consumption patterns, and the proposed framework establishes optimal and automated energy allocation through peer-to-peer energy transactions. The approach contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhances environmental sustainability.

Dual-layer optimization design method for collaborative benefits of renewable energy systems in building clusters: Case study of campus buildings

Ying Yu, Yuanwei Xiao, Jinshuai Chou, Xingyu Wang, Liu Yang

Summary: This study proposes a dual-layer optimization design method to maximize the energy sharing potential, enhance collaborative benefits, and reduce the storage capacity of building clusters. Case studies show that the proposed design significantly improves the performance of building clusters, reduces energy storage capacity, and shortens the payback period.

Model predictive control of distributed energy resources in residential buildings considering forecast uncertainties

Felix Langner, Weimin Wang, Moritz Frahm, Veit Hagenmeyer

Summary: This paper compares two main approaches to consider uncertainties in model predictive control (MPC) for buildings: robust and stochastic MPC. The results show that compared to a deterministic MPC, the robust MPC increases the electricity cost while providing complete temperature constraint satisfaction, while the stochastic MPC slightly increases the electricity cost but fulfills the thermal comfort requirements.

Improving building resilience in the face of future climate uncertainty: A comprehensive framework for enhancing building life cycle performance

Ruijun Chen, Holly Samuelson, Yukai Zou, Xianghan Zheng, Yifan Cao

Summary: This research introduces an innovative resilient design framework that optimizes building performance by considering a holistic life cycle perspective and accounting for climate projection uncertainties. The study finds that future climate scenarios significantly impact building life cycle performance, with wall U-value, windows U-value, and wall density being major factors. By using ensemble learning and optimization algorithms, predictions for carbon emissions, cost, and indoor discomfort hours can be made, and the best resilient design scheme can be selected. Applying this framework leads to significant improvements in building life cycle performance.
