Abstract-Energy simulation tool is a tool to simulate energy use by a building prior to the erection of the building. Commonly it has a feature providing alternative designs that are better than the user's design. In this paper, we propose a novel method in searching alternative design that is by using classification method. The classifiers we use are Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest Neighbor.Our experiments hows that Decision Tree has the fastest classification time followed by Naïve Bayes and k-Nearest Neighbor. The differences between classification time of Decision Tree and Naïve Bayes also between Naïve Bayes and k-NN are about an order of magnitude. Based on Percision, Recall, Fmeasure, Accuracy, and AUC, the performance of Naïve Bayes is the best. It outperforms Decision Tree and k-Nearest Neighbor on all parameters but precision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
