A novel methodology for knowledge discovery through mining associations between building operational data

▸ We propose a method for examining all associations and correlations between building operational data. ▸ The method is based on data mining technique. ▸ Useful knowledge about the influencing factors impacting energy consumption can be discovered. ▸ The method was applied to the operational data of an air-conditioning system. ▸ The results helped to better understand building operation and save energy.
