500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note Over 40% of all primary energy use comes from buildings, which also has the potential to provide the grid with some degree of energy flexibility. HVAC systems<br/>are crucial for ensuring a comfortable indoor environment for building occupants.<br/>While classical white-box models must adhere to the laws of physics, their accuracy may be limited by their inherent structure. Additionally, they have significant<br/>computational overhead, making them less practical for testing control systems.<br/>Several studies have utilized black-box models to develop simulators that forecast<br/>the indoor environment, but these studies typically focus on short-term prediction horizons of up to 1 week. Furthermore, few studies have accounted for the<br/>uncertainties in weather conditions, which can significantly impact the indoor environment and lead to energy wastage in HVAC systems. In this paper, we propose<br/>the development of a fast and accurate simulator for a multi-zone dwelling that<br/>can forecast the indoor environment for 6 months while incorporating weather<br/>uncertainties. We used 9 machine learning models namely, LR, Lasso, Ridge,<br/>Elastic Net, Extra trees, Regression Trees, Random Forest, KNN, and XGBoost<br/>xviii<br/>and 1 deep learning model namely, MLP. Hyperparameters are optimized for the<br/>machine learning models, and the indoor environment is forecasted. Among the<br/>models implemented, Lasso regression emerged as the best model with an RMSE<br/>of 0.077 for a 3-month forecast while KNN has an RMSE of 0.09 for 6-months<br/>prediction.
