Towards non-intrusive thermal load Monitoring of buildings: BES calibration

It is widely believed that smart metering will lead to high power savings. Those practices rely on Non-intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring (NIALM) methodologies. In this work an extension of NIALM to thermal loads is proposed: Non-intrusive Thermal Load Monitoring (NITLM). NIALM and NITLM share the same key point: a good model to calibrate loads. Thermal loads calibration is, at present, a task far from trivial.
