Using the fuzzy linear regression method to benchmark the energy efficiency of commercial buildings

Author

  • Chung, William

Abstract

Benchmarking systems from a sample of reference buildings need to be developed to conduct benchmarking processes for the energy efficiency of commercial buildings. However, not all benchmarking systems can be adopted by public users (i.e., other non-reference building owners) because of the different methods in developing such systems.
