TSPM: 효과적인 건물 에너지 예측을 위한 건물 안내도 기반 2단계 시공간 예측 모듈

Due to the increasing consumption in energy, accurate building energy prediction has become important, and recent studies achieve significant advancement with deep learning-based approaches. However, there are still some challenges. For accurate prediction, a complex structure that considers both temporal and spatial features must be applied, which makes it difficult to extend to other cases. Furthermore, some recent studies use simple time-series model as comparison, which may undermine the advantage of incorporating spatial features. In this paper, we propose novel Two-stage Spatiotemporal Prediction Module (TSPM) to overcome these limitations. Our TSPM can incorporate spatial features based on building floor plans images which can easily obtained. In addition, we conduct fair comparisons with promising time-series models to demonstrate effectiveness of our approach.
