METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A BUILDING ENERGY MODEL FOR A CLIENT BUILDING

A method for generating an AI-based building energy model for a client building, comprising: generating an energy profile database by: defining a set of building parameters; generating energy profiles by simulating a set of physical building models; and, populating the energy profile database with the energy profiles; determining an energy profile for the client building by: splitting the energy profile database into groups and clustering each group into a set of clusters; selecting a cluster; and, selecting the energy profile in the cluster that is a closest match to that of the client building; selecting a physical building model from a building model database that corresponds to the energy profile; calibrating the physical building model to generate an adjusted building model; and, generating a set of training datasets from the adjusted building model and inputting the set of training datasets into an AI module to generate the AI-based model.
