Time-Resolved Neural Network Surrogate Models as Digital Twins
Digital Twins (DTs) are a relatively new concept in the construction industry. They usually rely on calibrated physics-based simulation models for prediction purposes. Such models are resource-intensive and therefore expensive to build and deploy. To address this, surrogate models provide a suitable alternative for DTs as these are much faster to evaluate (and hence calibrate) and potentially more flexible to deploy. This research devises a neural network-based surrogate model implementation using easily accessible building parameters and weather data. The methodology constitutes parameter mapping, time-series surrogate fitting, and output validation. The resulting output provides the time-series building energy consumption patterns for any use case. To demonstrate the applicability of this methodology, this study uses the US Department of Energy Medium Office archetype for time-series surrogate formulation. When considering electricity and natural gas consumption on a 10-min resolution, the CNN surrogate provides a better fit for electricity (R2 = 0.977) against natural gas (R2 = 0.824). Furthermore, the predictions were more accurate for natural gas predictions (RMSE = 0.094 kWh) against electricity predictions (RMSE = 2.473 kWh).
