Appliances Energy Prediction Smart Home Dataset
Abstract
"Real smart-home energy consumption data (10-minute resolution) with indoor room sensors and outdoor weather measurements, designed to model appliance energy use in a low-energy house.[web:55][web:61][web:66]"
Description
Overview
The Appliances Energy Prediction dataset contains experimental data collected in a real low-energy house to build regression models for household appliance energy consumption.[web:55][web:61][web:66]
Data Collection
- 19,735 observations sampled every 10 minutes over approximately 4.5 months.[web:55][web:61]
- Indoor environmental conditions were monitored in 9 rooms using a ZigBee wireless sensor network.[web:55]
- Outdoor weather and climate variables were obtained from the Chievres airport weather station.[web:55]
Features
- Target variable: Total energy use of appliances (in Wh or kWh, depending on pre-processing) for each 10-minute interval.[web:55][web:61]
- Indoor variables: temperature and humidity measurements for 9 rooms (kitchen, living room, bathrooms, office, etc.).[web:55]
- Outdoor variables: temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, visibility and dew point from the nearby weather station.[web:55]
- Time-related attributes (date, time) enabling temporal feature engineering and seasonality analysis.[web:55][web:61]
Typical Use Cases
- Smart home energy demand forecasting and load profiling.[web:55][web:58]
- Learning control policies for HVAC optimization and comfort–energy tradeoffs.[web:55][web:63]
- Benchmarking regression and time-series ML models on real IoT energy data.[web:55][web:61]
