Abstract: Buildings emit a great deal of carbon dioxide and use a lot of energy. The study of building energy consumption is useful for the sustainable development of multi-energy planning and energy-saving strategies. Therefore, a sustainable development for building energy consumption based on the improved rafflesia optimization algorithm (ROA) with feature selection and ensemble deep learning is proposed in this paper. This method can explore data on building energy usage, assess prediction accuracy, and address concerns that building energy usage research must address. The proposed model first uses an improved self-organizing map with a new neighborhood function to select important features. After that, it uses ensemble deep learning to accurately anticipate the building’s energy usage. In addition, the improved ROA is used to fine-tune parameters for feature selection and ensemble deep learning. This research uses the dataset of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to compare the performance of several modeling approaches. It identifies the top five most important features based on the model’s results. Furthermore, the proposed model can be successfully applied to a real-world application. They both have the lowest root mean squared errors among the approaches examined. The proposed model indeed provides the benefits of feature selection and ensemble deep learning with the improved ROA for the prediction of building energy consumption.
