Towards sustainable architecture: Enhancing green building energy consumption prediction with integrated variational autoencoders and self-attentive gated recurrent units from multifaceted datasets.
Global awareness of sustainable development has heightened interest in green buildings as a key strategy for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Accurate prediction of energy consumption plays a vital role in developing effective energy management and conservation strategies. This study addresses these challenges by proposing an advanced deep learning framework that integrates Time-Dependent Variational Autoencoder (TD-VAE) with Adaptive Gated Self-Attention GRU (AGSA-GRU). The framework incorporates self-attention mechanisms and Multi-Task Learning (MTL) strategies to capture lo...
