Predicting energy use in construction using Extreme Gradient Boosting.

ABSTRACT: Annual increases in global energy consumption are an unavoidable consequence of a growing global economy and population. Among different sectors, the construction industry consumes an average of 20.1% of the world's total energy. Therefore, exploring methods for estimating the amount of energy used is critical. There are several approaches that have been developed to address this issue. The proposed methods are expected to contribute to energy savings as well as reduce the risks of global warming. There are diverse types of computational approaches to predicting energy use. These existing approaches belong to the statistics-based, engineering-based, and machine learning-based categories. Machine learning-based frameworks showed better performance compared to these other approaches. In our
