Semantic data mining and linked data for a recommender system in the AEC industry [PDF]
Even though it can provide design teams with valuable performance insights and enhance decision-making, monitored building data is rarely reused in an effective feedback loop from operation to design. Data mining allows users to obtain such insights from

Inclusion of window opening habits in a window model based on activity and occupancy patterns [PDF]
The occupants’ window opening behaviour can have a substantial influence on the indoor climate and the energy use in low energy dwellings. In literature, most window opening models are based on outdoor and/or indoor climate variables.
