Abstract:

Creating green homes requires us to make informed decisions in the energy management of the home. For instance, whenever possible, a comfortable temperature should be achieved through natural, energy-efficient means such as opening doors or lowering shades. To do this, the control agent needs to know the impact of the action: will opening the window raise or lower the temperature? Unfortunately, developing mathematical models of an environment as complex as a home is a significant challenge, while performing real-world experiments is costly, takes a long time and is dependent on external circumstances beyond the control of the experimenter. In this paper, we describe the architecture of a physical, small scale model of a suburban home, together with an enclosure that models the exterior environment. Specific scenarios can be enacted using Internet of Things (IoT) actuators that control the doors and windows. We use a suite of IoT sensors to collect data during the scenario. We use deep learning-based temporal regression models to make predictions about the effect of specific actions affecting temperature and humidity in the home.
