What is it about?

This study focuses on developing a fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) system for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems using supervised and semi-supervised machine learning (ML) approaches. The researchers collected data from an operating HVAC system in an industrial facility in Connecticut and compared three different approaches for fault classification using semi-supervised learning. They achieved high accuracies up to 95.7% using few-shot learning.
