3. Results
- RMSE is a widely used metric for measuring the differences between values predicted by a model and values that are observed. It is sensitive to large errors, providing a clear picture of the model’s performance [29]. RMSE is expressed in the same units as the dependent variable (e.g., kWh or kWh/m2 for energy consumption). It can also be expressed in many other units across different fields, including temperature in °C (Celsius), °F (Fahrenheit), or K (Kelvin), pressure in Pa (Pascals) or bars, and concentration in ppm (parts per million) or μg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter) [29].
- MSE is similar to RMSE but does not involve taking square roots. It averages the squares of the errors, emphasizing larger errors more than smaller ones. MSE measures the average magnitude of errors in a set of predictions without considering their direction. It provides a straightforward interpretation of error magnitude [29]. It is expressed in squared units of the dependent variable (e.g., (kWh)2 or (kWh/m2) as well as many other units in different fields [29].
- R2 indicates how well the model’s predictions match the actual data, with values closer to 1.0 indicating a better pair [31]. R2 allows for an easy comparison between different AI models. By comparing R2 values of models with different input features, researchers can assess which building characteristics or environmental factors have the most significant impact on energy consumption predictions [31].

5. Conclusions
- The use of AI models in BEMS for energy consumption forecasting, HVAC control and optimization, occupancy detection, and the prediction of indoor climate parameters is a valuable contribution to building energy efficiency, additional energy savings, cost reductions, and thermal improvements.
- The highest energy savings potential of up to 37% can be found in offices, smaller savings of up to 23% can be found in residential buildings, and savings of 21% can be found in educational buildings when DRL-based models are used to optimize HVAC control strategies and balance the trade-offs between indoor comfort and energy consumption, compared to baseline rule-based methods.
- AI models, particularly deep learning architectures like DNNs, CNNs, and hybrid models, are highly effective in predicting energy consumption, with R2 values frequently exceeding 0.9, indicating high accuracy. The most common application area is energy consumption forecasting, with residential buildings being a predominant focus.
