Raw data supporting the results presented in the article "A Zone-Level, Building Energy Optimisation Combining an Artificial Neural Network, a Genetic Algorithm, and Model Predictive Control"
The dataset includes an EnergyPlus energy model of a small office building based in Cardiff, UK. From this energy model, several simulations were run with varying heating set point temperatures to produce a training dataset for an artificial neural network. The training dataset is comprised of weather, occupancy, time and date information to predict the indoor temperature of all 6 occupied zones as well as the heating energy consumption of each.
The dataset also contains the results of an optimisation strategy designed to minimise the energy consumption of the building. This shows the baseline energy consumption, energy consumption due to day ahead optimisation, energy consumption due to model predictive control. This is broken down for 5 test days, each zone, and under a standard and time of use tariff.
