Crystal ball gazing – predicting the future
Buildings can be regarded as complex thermodynamic objects that account for a large proportion of energy consumption worldwide. Energy system management at a district level can play a crucial role in improving building energy efficiency as well as exploiting larger portfolios of demand and supply to offer balancing services. More advanced prediction of building performance, when combined with data-rich and distributed energy system controls, can add greater resilience to and targeted decarbonisation of building stock, particularly in light of the more extreme climatic patterns anticipated for this century. In this presentation, I will explain some approaches being used at the National Centre for Energy Systems Integration, to predict energy use for commercial and residential buildings.
