| description | This paper examines Connected Smart Green Townhouses (CSGTs) as a modern residential building model in Burnaby, British Columbia (BC). This model incorporates a wide range of sustainable materials and smart components such as recycled insulation, Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, smart meters, and high-efficiency systems. The CSGTs operate in grid-connected mode to balance on-site renewables with grid resources to improve efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Real datasets are used to optimize resource consumption, including electricity, gas, and water. Renewable Energy Sources (RESs), such as PV systems, are integrated with smart grid technology. This creates an effective framework for managing energy consumption. The accuracy, efficiency, emissions, and cost are metrics used to evaluate CSGT performance. CSGTs with one to four bedrooms are investigated considering water systems and party walls. A deep Machine Learning (ML) model combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed to improve the performance. In particular, the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is below 5%, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) are within acceptable levels, and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> is consistently above 0.85. The proposed model outperforms other models such as Linear Regression (LR), CNN, LSTM, Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting (GB) for all bedroom configurations. |
