建筑能耗建模是优化建筑能源系统性能的关键工具。传统方法涵盖从纯物理模型到纯数据驱动技术,近年来混合方法因其融合两者优势而受到关注。现有混合策略包括:为物理模型学习代理模型、建模模拟与实测数据的残差、用真实数据微调代理模型、将物理输出作为数据模型的额外输入,以及在数据模型损失函数中融入物理输出。尽管如此,仍存在两大研究空白:一是多数混合方法仅关注确定性建模,忽视天气波动与人员行为带来的固有不确定性;二是缺乏在概率建模框架下的系统性比较。本研究通过评估五种代表性混合方法,在真实案例中对建筑热力学的分位数预测进行评估。结果显示:第一,不同房间类型下混合方法表现各异,但前馈神经网络残差学习法平均表现最优;尤其值得注意的是,该方法在分布外测试数据上仍能生成符合物理直觉的预测。第二,分位数共形预测在室内温度建模中能有效校准分位数预测结果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Building energy modeling is a key tool for optimizing the performance of building energy systems. Historically, a wide spectrum of methods has been explored -- ranging from conventional physics-based models to purely data-driven techniques. Recently, hybrid approaches that combine the strengths of both paradigms have gained attention. These include strategies such as learning surrogates for physics-based models, modeling residuals between simulated and observed data, fine-tuning surrogates with real-world measurements, using physics-based outputs as additional inputs for data-driven models, and integrating the physics-based output into the loss function the data-driven model. Despite this progress, two significant research gaps remain. First, most hybrid methods focus on deterministic modeling, often neglecting the inherent uncertainties caused by factors like weather fluctuations and occupant behavior. Second, there has been little systematic comparison within a probabilistic modeling framework. This study addresses these gaps by evaluating five representative hybrid approaches for probabilistic building energy modeling, focusing on quantile predictions of building thermodynamics in a real-world case study. Our results highlight two main findings. First, the performance of hybrid approaches varies across different building room types, but residual learning with a Feedforward Neural Network performs best on average. Notably, the residual approach is the only model that produces physically intuitive predictions when applied to out-of-distribution test data. Second, Quantile Conformal Prediction is an effective procedure for calibrating quantile predictions in case of indoor temperature modeling.
