Load Optimization for Connected Modern Buildings Using Deep Hybrid Machine Learning in Island Mode
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper examines Connected Smart Green Buildings (CSGBs) in Burnaby, BC, Canada, with a focus on townhouses with one to four bedrooms. The proposed model integrates sustainable materials and smart components such as recycled insulation, Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, smart meters, and high-efficiency systems. These elements improve energy efficiency and promote sustainability. Operating in island mode, CSGBs can function independently of the grid, providing resilience during power outages and reducing reliance on external energy sources. Real data on electricity, gas, and water consumption are used to optimize load management under isolated conditions. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are also considered in the system. They serve as energy storage devices and, through Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, can supply power when needed. A hybrid Machine Learning (ML) model combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed to improve the performance. The metrics considered include accuracy, efficiency, emissions, and cost. The performance was compared with several well-known models including Linear Regression (LR), CNN, LSTM, Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and hybrid LSTM–CNN, and the results show that the proposed model provides the best results. For a four-bedroom Connected Smart Green Townhouse (CSGT), the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is 4.43%, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is 3.49 kWh, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 3.06 kWh, and R2 is 0.81. These results indicate that the proposed model provides robust load optimization, particularly in island mode, and highlight the potential of CSGBs for sustainable urban living.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
