The built environment is responsible for about 36% of the global energy demand. About 5-30% of the energy use of buildings is related to energy waste due to faults in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The goal is to develop a self-learning module that can monitor and diagnose climate systems in large buildings.
