Research and Applications of Data Mining Techniques for Improving Building Operational Performance

Purpose of ReviewThis paper reviews the data mining (DM)-related research and applications at the building operation stage. It aims to summarize DM-based solutions for building energy management and reveal current research and development outcomes in analyzing massive building operational data using advanced DM techniques.Recent FindingsPrevious studies mainly adopt DM techniques for two tasks, i.e., (1) predictive modeling; (2) fault detection and diagnosis. The knowledge discovered has been successfully utilized to facilitate the decision-making during building operations. Domain expertise play the dominant role in the knowledge discovery process, which limits the chance of discovering novel knowledge.SummaryDM is a promising technology for the development of intelligent and automated building management systems. Despite encouraging results, more research efforts should be made in (1) exploring the usefulness of unsupervised DM, (2) developing generic analytic frameworks, and (3) analyzing unstructured and multi-relational data sets.
