Description
Summary:As the energy consumption of residential building takes a large part in the building energy consumption, it is important to promote energy efficiency in residential building for green development. In order to evaluate the energy consumption of residential building more effectively, this paper proposes a combined prediction model based on random forest and BP neural network (RF-BPNN). To verify the prediction effect of the RF-BPNN combined model, experiments were performed by using the energy efficiency data set in the UCI database, and the model was evaluated with five indicators: mean absolute error, root mean square deviation, mean absolute percentage error, correlation coefficient, and coincidence index. Compared with the random forest, BP neural network model, and other existing models, respectively, it is proven by the experimental results that the RF-BPNN model possesses higher prediction accuracy and better stability.
