Neural Approach in Short-Term Outdoor Temperature Prediction for Application in HVAC Systems

An accurate air-temperature prediction can provide the energy consumption and system load in advance, both of which are crucial in HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) system operation optimisation as a way of reducing energy losses, operating costs, as well as pollution and dust emissions...
