Abstract

With the change in energy utilization, a fast and accurate evaluation method is of great importance to promote green campus sustainability. In order to improve the feasibility and timeliness of evaluation, an intelligent evaluation model based on dynamic Bayesian inference and adaptive network fuzzy inference system (DBN-ANFIS) is proposed. Firstly, from the perspective of sustainability and considering the changes in energy utilization, a green campus evaluation index system is constructed from four levels: campus resource utilization, campus environment creation, campus usage management, and campus eco-efficiency. On this basis, the parameters of the adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are optimized based on dynamic Bayesian inference (DBN), so as to apply the modified model to the green campus evaluation work of the Spark big data operation platform. Finally, the scientificity of the model proposed in this paper is verified through example analysis, which is conducive to the real-time and effective evaluation of green campus sustainability and provides scientific and rational decision support to improve its management.
