Bayesian evaluation of energy conservation measures: a case study with a model-predictive controller for space heating on a commercial building

We have applied this method after installing, in March 2016, a commercial model-predictive controller for space heating on a medium-sized office building in Switzerland. The baseline was established from historic oil tank refill records. 58 days after installing the controller, the energy efficiency of the building had improved by 33.1%, with 19.0 percentage points standard error.
