Abstract:The smart building concept aims to use smart technology to reduce energy consumption, as well as to improve comfort conditions and users' satisfaction. It is based on the use of smart sensors and software to follow both outdoor and indoor conditions for the control of comfort, and security devices for the optimization of energy consumption. This paper presents a data-based model for indoor temperature forecasting, which could be used for the optimization of energy device use. The model is based on an artificial neural network (ANN), which is validated on data recorded in an old building. The novelty of this work consists of the methodology proposed for the development of a simplified model for indoor temperature forecasting. This methodology is based on the selection of pertinent input parameters after a relevance analysis of a large set of input parameters, including solar radiation outdoor temperature history, outdoor humidity, indoor facade temperature, and humidity. It shows that an ANN-based model using outdoor and facade temperature sensors provides good forecasting of indoor temperatures. This model can be easily used in the optimal regulation of buildings' energy devices.

Smart buildings concept aims at the use of the smart technology to reduce energy consumption as well as improvement of the comfort conditions and users' satisfaction. It is based on the use of smart sensors to follow both outdoor and indoor conditions as well as software for the control of comfort and security devices. The optimal control of the energy devices requires software for indoor temperature forecasting. This paper presents an ANN -based model for the indoor temperature forecasting. The model is developed using data recoded in an old building of the engineering school Polytech'Lille. Data covered both indoor and outdoor conditions. Analysis of the relevance of the input parameters allowed to develop a simplified forecasting model of the indoor temperature that uses only the outdoor temperature as well as the history of the façade temperature as input parameters. The paper presents successively, data collection, the ANN concept used in the temperature forecasting, and finally the ANN model developed for the façade and indoor forecasting. It shows that an ANN-based model using outdoor and façade temperature sensors provides a good forecasting of the indoor temperature. This model could be used for the optimal control of buildings energy devices.
