Abstract

A neural network auto regressive with exogenous input (NNARX) model is used to predict the indoor temperature of a residential building. Firstly, the optimal regressor of a linear ARX model is identified by minimising Akaike’s final prediction error (FPE). This regressor is then used as the input vector of a fully connected feedforward neural network with one hidden layer of ten units and one output unit. Results show that the NNARX model outperforms the linear model considerably: the sum of the squared error (SSE) is 15.0479 with the ARX model and 2.0632 with the NNARX model. The optimal network topology is subsequently determined by pruning the fully connected network according to the optimal brain surgeon (OBS) strategy. With this procedure near 73% of connections were removed and, as a result, the performance of the network has been improved: the SSE is equal to 0.9060.
