arXiv:2509. 05364v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Residential buildings contribute significantly to energy use, health outcomes, and carbon emissions.
arXiv:2607. 10720v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The accelerating shift toward low-carbon power systems, together with the widespread adoption of behind-the-meter technologies such as rooftop solar and electric vehicles, is placing new operational and analytical demands on electricity grids.
arXiv:2609.00847v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As machine learning and artificial intelligence find their way into nearly every aspect of climate, weather, and Earth system modeling, it is worth p...
arXiv:2608. 09255v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residential energy estimates are often needed before detailed envelope characteristics, equipment efficiencies, infiltration, sensor, or billing data are available.
arXiv:2507. 17012v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reducing the rapidly growing environmental impact of the computing industry requires assessing the emissions of electronics at scale.
arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.
The paper reviews 66 studies on large language models (LLMs) applied to HVAC operations in building energy systems, categorizing them by application and method families and evaluating their evidence realism and deployment readiness. It finds that most work focuses on building energy modelling, with only four studies reaching pilot-level evidence and none reporting sustained operational deployment. LLMs are currently best suited as semantic and workflow layers—such as point‑name normalisation and document‑grounded operator support—rather than autonomous HVAC controllers, and future research should target field‑validated benchmarks and safe, low‑latency LLM‑MPC/RL integrations.
arXiv:2606. 10660v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI inference services -- API subscriptions, enterprise chat tools, and SaaS products with embedded AI features -- fall unambiguously within Scope 3 Category 1 under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires disclosure for fiscal years starting January 2024.
arXiv:2608. 09998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have become powerful tools for supporting and automating complex human tasks.
arXiv:2509. 09794v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computational models have emerged as powerful tools for multi-scale energy modeling research at the building and urban scale, supporting data-driven analysis across building and urban energy systems.
arXiv:2606. 02852v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate short-term forecasting of residential energy load and indoor temperature is essential for home energy management systems, grid-level demand response, and community energy efficiency efforts.
The paper reviews 194 papers on using artificial intelligence to optimize data center energy use, coding 63 of them. It finds that most control studies validate only in simulation, none consider water withdrawal or embodied carbon, and savings estimates overlap across methods, preventing ranking. The authors propose CLEAR‑DC, a framework that links control and workload demand through elasticity, reports net benefits, and records energy, carbon, water, embodied share, and validation venue.
arXiv:2608. 08691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Residential virtual power plants (VPPs) can provide grid flexibility by shifting household demand, but physical flexibility becomes dependable capacity only when residents authorize a plan and the promised response is delivered.
