Abstract: The energy consumption in Europe is, to a considerable extent, due to heating and cooling used for domestic purposes. This energy is produced mostly by burning fossil fuels with a high negative environmental impact. The characteristics of a building are an important factor to determine the necessities of heating and cooling loads. Therefore, the study of the relevant characteristics of the buildings with respect to the heating and cooling needed to maintain comfortable indoor air conditions, could be very useful in order to design and construct energy efficient buildings. In previous studies, statistical machine learning approaches have been used to predict heating and cooling loads from eight variables describing the main characteristics of residential buildings which obtained good results. In this research, we present two fuzzy modelling approaches that study the same problem from a different perspective. The prediction results obtained while using fuzzy approaches outperform the o nes described in the previous studies. Moreover, the feature selection process of one of the fuzzy methodologies provide interesting insights to the principal building variables causally related to heating and cooling loads. (More)
