Applied Energy

Researchers from Osaka University have developed a data-driven AI algorithm for controlling the heating and cooling of an office building. The system does not require ambient sensors or specific knowledge of the building’s rooms. During heating operations, the system was able to achieve energy savings of up to 30%, which can represent significant reductions to cost and environmental impact.

Researchers have explored the efficacy of combining solar panels on rooftops with electric vehicles acting as storage batteries in Paris and its surrounding areas, finding some encouraging results.
