Abstract

In order to accurately reflect the operation characteristics of office buildings, a convolutional neural network(CNN)-recurrent neural network(RNN)combined model for energy consumption prediction of office buildings is proposed by using the good feature extraction ability of CNN and the good time series learning ability of RNN. Besides, a two-dimensional matrix data input structure suitable for the deep learning model is designed. The case study results show that compared with the simple recurrent neural network and long short term memory network, both the prediction accuracy and computational efficiency of CNN-RNN combined model are significantly improved, and the generalization of the model is also good.
