Seminar 41 -- Optimizing Smart Building Operation with Machine Learning

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This advanced session discusses sophisticated machine learning (ML) optimization techniques and their application to improve operational efficiency and delivery of services for complex systems such as buildings and campuses. This session includes three presentations that focus on Supervised Learning and Reinforced Learning techniques for driving building controls towards superior strategies.
