The new age of artificial intelligence has opened an analytic toolbox that offers significant advantages in estimating energy use and emissions of households and businesses compared to traditional tools.
A new AI-powered k-nearest neighbor (KNN) analysis application uses just a few dwelling unit/household or business/operating characteristics to estimate energy use and emissions for any household or business in the US. The App provides a comparison with peer households/businesses in the same location and presents information on cost and emissions savings available with energy efficiency improvement targets. The App applies a master database including household and business characteristics along with energy use and emissions for more than 7 million households and businesses across the US.
A free evaluation session for any individual US ZIP location is available at https://maisyenergyapps.com/sustainability_tool.htm  (no registration or contact information is required). Â
