The energy consumption of buildings can directly affect the buildings users' budget and their satisfaction with the investment in the property. Vice versa, buildings energy consumption has a social implication on the buildings' users. Additionally, building energy consumption is connected with the buildings influence on the environment due to the CO2 emission. Thus, having a model for energy usage prediction is of crucial importance. Data for sixty real-built buildings were collected. Using support vector machine, a model was developed for prediction of energy consumption. The mean absolute percentage error of the model is 2,44% and the coefficient of determination of the model R 2 is 94,72%, which expresses the global fit of the model. The model is useful for all participants in the designs of buildings, particularly in the early phases. It can serve as a decision support model during the process of selection of optimal building design.
