Bridging AI and Energy Forecasting: An Autonomous Workflow with Customized Toolkit

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.

Large Language Models for HVAC Operations in Building Energy Systems: A Critical Review of Methods, Applications, and Deployment Readiness

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.
