Thanks in advance!", "649928": "You are given hourly data of a building, and must predict the hourly data of the building in the future\n- Meters within the same building may be correlated\n- Weather affects how much energy a building may use (cold day -> lots of heating. Hot day -> lots of air conditioning & cooling)\n- Certain buildings may have traditions where they use a lot more energy on that day. For example, people only come to church on Sunday, so you will see churches have lots of energy use on Sundays and not so much on other days. For example, students only go to school Monday-Friday, so the buildings are barren on the weekends.\n- The meter readings may be increasing year over year if the building is acquiring more people; it may be decreasing year over year if the building is losing people.", "650996": "There are few more things, which I want to see if they are true based on data:\n* older buildings are build with different technology then new one, so the consumption schema will be different.
