摘要
Advanced building controls and energy optimization for new constructions and retrofits rely on accurate weather data.Traditionally,most studies utilize airport weather information as the decision inputs.However,most buildings are in environments that are quite different than those at the airport miles away.Tree cover,adjacent buildings,and micro-climate effects caused by the larger surrounding area can all yield deviations in air temperature,humidity,solar irradiance,and wind that are large enough to influence design and operation decisions.In order to overcome this challenge,there are many prior studies on developing weather forecasting algorithms from micro-to meso-scales.This paper reviews and complies knowledge on common weather data resources,data processing methodologies and forecasting techniques of weather information.Commonly used statistical,machine learning and physical-based models are discussed and presented as two major categories:deterministic forecasting and probabilistic forecasting.Finally,evaluation metrics for forecasting errors are listed and discussed.
