Abstract:
Reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising approach to optimize building energy systems, but existing simulation environments present scalability and efficiency challenges. This keynote presents an open-source, physics-based building simulator designed for rapid RL agent training. We detail the simulator's lightweight architecture, featuring a finite-difference solver and simplified HVAC model, and highlight a novel matrix-based implementation that achieves a 10x speedup through TensorFlow computation. We discuss the open-source dataset of building telemetry accompanying the simulator and outline future enhancements, including advanced heat transfer models and improved agent design. Finally, we invite collaboration with researchers and developers to expand the simulator's capabilities and accelerate innovation in sustainable building technologies.
