<description>Improving the detection of thermal insulation in buildings –which&#xd;
includes the development of models for heating and ventilation processes and&#xd;
fabric gain - could significantly increase building energy efficiency and substantially contribute to reductions in energy consumption and in the carbon&#xd;
footprints of domestic heating systems. Thermal insulation standards are now&#xd;
contractual obligations in new buildings, although poor energy efficiency is often a defining characteristic of buildings built before the introduction of those&#xd;
standards. Lighting, occupancy, set point temperature profiles, air conditioning&#xd;
and ventilation services all increase the complexity of measuring insulation&#xd;
efficiency. The identification of thermal insulation failure can help to reduce&#xd;
energy consumption in heating systems. Conventional methods can be greatly&#xd;
improved through the application of hybridized machine learning techniques to&#xd;
detect thermal insulation failures when a building is in operation. A three-step&#xd;
procedure is proposed in this paper that begins by considering the local building&#xd;
and heating system regulations as well as the specific features of the climate&#xd;
zone. Firstly, the dynamic thermal performance of different variables is specifically modelled, for each building type and climate zone. Secondly, Cooperative&#xd;
Maximum-Likelihood Hebbian Learning is used to extract the relevant features.&#xd;
Finally, neural projections and identification techniques are applied, in order to&#xd;
detect fluctuations in room temperatures and, in consequence, thermal insulation failures. The reliability of the proposed method is validated in three winter&#xd;
zone C cities in Spain. Although a great deal of further research remains to be&#xd;
done in this field, the proposed system is expected to outperform conventional&#xd;
methods described in Spanish building codes that are used to calculate energetic&#xd;
profiles in domestic and residential buildings.</description>
