Abstract

With the continuous development of the global economy and the acceleration of urbanization, the annual energy consumption of buildings also occupies a considerable scale. In order to achieve energy saving and emission reduction in buildings, reasonable energy management for buildings is an important tool to achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction. In this paper, an improved Echo State Network method is used to predict building energy consumption. This improved echo state network can not only handle energy consumption data of a single building, but also combine multiple spatially correlated building energy consumption data to further improve the accuracy of energy prediction. The results show that the accuracy of the new model proposed in this paper for building energy consumption prediction is better than that of the classical ESN model and other classical machine learning models, and the model is well suited for end-to-end prediction tasks for multiple buildings. Combined with the clustering algorithm, it can also achieve acceleration for end-to-end prediction tasks.
