Tool for supporting local energy strategies: forecasting energy plans with Artificial Neural Network in Umbria Region

In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emission and to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, European Member States have to plan medium-to-long term strategies as reliable as possible. In this context, the present work aims to discuss the potentiality of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) as a sup...
