Abstract

Energy simulation tool is a tool to simulate energy use by a building prior to the erection of the building. Commonly it has a feature providing alternative designs that are better than the user’s design. In this paper, we propose a novel method in searching alternative design that is by using classification method. The classifiers we use are Na&\#239;ve Bayes, Decision Tree, and k-Nearest Neighbor. Our experiment shows that Decision Tree has the fastest classification time followed by Na&\#239;ve Bayes and k-Nearest Neighbor. The differences between classification time of Decision Tree and Na&\#239;ve Bayes also between Na&\#239;ve Bayes and k-NN are about an order of magnitude. Based on Percision, Recall, F-measure, Accuracy, and AUC, the performance of Na&\#239;ve Bayes is the best. It outperforms Decision Tree and k-Nearest Neighbor on all parameters but precision.
