Buildings contribute to roughly 40% of the global energy use (approx. 64 PWh), of which a large portion is used for heating, cooling, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC).<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|date=2020-09-29|title=All you need to know about model predictive control for buildings|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367578820300584|journal=Annual Reviews in Control|language=en|doi=10.1016/j.arcontrol.2020.09.001|issn=1367-5788}}</ref> The challenge is that current [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_management_system building management systems (BMS)] are manually designed by human operators, which leads to energy inefficient operations. ML can help develop predictive models of building energy systems, leading to efficient building operation via advanced model-based optimal control methods. Independent studies reported that advanced HVAC control can significantly reduce energy use and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions with energy savings of 13% to 53%<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gyalistras|first=Dimitrios|last2=Gwerder|first2=Markus|last3=Oldewurtel|first3=Frauke|last4=Jones|first4=Colin N.|last5=Morari|first5=Manfred|last6=Lehmann|first6=Beat|last7=Wirth|first7=Katharina|last8=Stauch|first8=Vanessa|date=2010|title=Analysis of energy savings potentials for integrated room automation|url=https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/handle/20.500.11850/28685|journal=Clima 2010 sustainable energy use in buildings : 10th REHVA world congress ; 9 - 12 May, Antalya ; proceedings|language=en|publisher=Turkish Society of HVAC and Sanitary Engineers (TTMD); Federation of European Heating and Air Conditioning Associations (REHVA)|pages=R2|isbn=978-975-6907-14-6}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Castilla|first=María del Mar|last2=Álvarez|first2=José Domingo|last3=Rodríguez|first3=Francisco|last4=Berenguel|first4=Manuel|date=2014|title=Comfort Control in Buildings|url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4471-6347-3|journal=Advances in Industrial Control|language=en-gb|doi=10.1007/978-1-4471-6347-3|issn=1430-9491}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Široký|first=Jan|last2=Oldewurtel|first2=Frauke|last3=Cigler|first3=Jiří|last4=Prívara|first4=Samuel|date=2011-09-01|title=Experimental analysis of model predictive control for an energy efficient building heating system|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306261911001668|journal=Applied Energy|language=en|volume=88|issue=9|pages=3079–3087|doi=10.1016/j.apenergy.2011.03.009|issn=0306-2619}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ma|first=Y.|last2=Borrelli|first2=F.|last3=Hencey|first3=B.|last4=Coffey|first4=B.|last5=Bengea|first5=S.|last6=Haves|first6=P.|date=2012-05|title=Model Predictive Control for the Operation of Building Cooling Systems|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/5739562|journal=IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology|volume=20|issue=3|pages=796–803|doi=10.1109/TCST.2011.2124461|issn=1558-0865}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-04-01|title=Cloud-based implementation of white-box model predictive control for a GEOTABS office building: A field test demonstration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959152419306857|journal=Journal of Process Control|language=en|volume=88|pages=63–77|doi=10.1016/j.jprocont.2020.02.007|issn=0959-1524}}</ref>.

# Automated design, tuning, and deployment with plug-and-play implementation of advanced control strategy.
# Capability of handling multi-dimensional and hierarchical systems with dynamical coupling.
# Dealing with uncertainties in modeling and real-time measurements.
# Control security/safety/robustness by minimizing or eliminating the chance of generating control signals that might lead to undesirable outcomes during operation.
# Trained personnel to handle commissioning, and maintenance of advanced control methods in practice.
