METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR HVAC INEFFICIENCY PREDICTION

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for predicting inefficient HVAC operation, by obtaining first training data for HVACs in a training set of households during a first period of moderate weather; obtaining second training data for HVACs in the training set of households during a subsequent period of harsher weather; generating classification labels of the household locations of the training set according to the second training data; applying the first training data and the classification labels to train a supervised machine learning algorithm, to generate an HVAC classification model predictive of inefficiency during periods of harsher weather conditions; obtaining operational data pertaining to HVACs in an operational set of households during a second period of moderate weather; and applying the HVAC classification model to predict inefficiency of HVACs at individual households in the operational set during a second subsequent period of harsher weather.
