description Accurate energy consumption prediction in commercial buildings is a challenging research task. Energy prediction plays a crucial role in energy efficiency, management, planning, sustainability, risk management, diagnosis, and demand response. Although many studies have been conducted on building energy predictions, the impact of occupancy on energy prediction models for office-type commercial buildings remains insufficiently explored, despite its potential to improve energy efficiency by 20%. This study investigates energy prediction using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model that incorporates time-series power consumption data and considers occupancy. A real-world dataset containing the per-minute electricity consumption of various appliances in an office building in Houston, TX, USA, is utilized. The proposed machine learning models forecast future energy consumption based on hourly, 3-hourly, daily, and quarterly predictions for individual appliances and total energy usage. The model’s performance is evaluated using the following three metrics: Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system.
