The study benchmarks various forecasting models—including statistical, machine‑learning, recurrent neural networks, and pretrained TimesFM—for day‑ahead electricity demand in a university building. TimesFM 3.0 with weather covariates achieves the lowest overall mean absolute error, outperforming a weekly seasonal‑naive baseline by about 43%, while XGBoost remains competitive and requires only local fitting. The LSTM model takes longer to train without improving accuracy, and TimesFM’s performance is robust even without covariates, though covariates slightly improve holiday forecasts.

EvoBench is a diagnostic benchmark framework designed to reveal where and when machine‑learning models for environmental variables fail, rather than relying on a single average accuracy score. It tracks model performance over time and across spatial extrapolation, highlighting issues such as non‑stationarity, poor performance at unmonitored sites, and under‑prediction of rare events like floods. In a case study on daily streamflow prediction across 9,000 U.S. basins, EvoBench shows that no model dominates all scenarios and that targeted fixes can mitigate identified weaknesses.

The study evaluates how well time‑series foundation models (TSFMs) can be adapted for electrical load forecasting. It compares pretrained inference, full fine‑tuning, and low‑rank adaptation (LoRA) across four load aggregation levels, using MOIRAI 1.0 Large as the main backbone and Chronos‑2 as a secondary model. LoRA achieves a 7.5% average NMAE reduction on MOIRAI while updating only about 1% of the parameters, offering a strong accuracy‑efficiency trade‑off, though benefits vary in out‑of‑distribution scenarios.
