Machine Learning to Classify Energy End-Use in UBC Buildings
Introduction A group of students from the 2019/2020 cohort of UBC’s Master of Data Science Program (MDS) have completed a capstone project in partnership with UBC Urban Data Lab by applying machine learning techniques on data from UDL’s InfluxDB instance of live-streaming building energy datasets. The focus of the 9-week project was to build a […]
Leveraging Energy Data for Sustainable Buildings
Urban Data Lab (UDL) gained data access to live-streaming building energy datasets from UBC Energy and Water Services (EWS). The data is stored in UDL’s InfluxDB instance and made available to students, researchers and operational staff at UBC as part of UBC’s Campus as a Living Lab Initiative. The SKYSPARK database on UDL’s InfluxDB instance […]
