Temperature clusters in commercial buildings using k-means and time series clustering.

An efficient building should be able to control its internal temperature in a manner that considers both the building's energy efficiency and the comfort level of its occupants. Thermostats help to control the temperature within a building by providing real-time data on the temperature inside that space to determine whether it is within the acceptable range of that building's control system, and proper thermostat placement helps to better control a building's temperature. More thermostats can provide better control of a building, as well as a better understanding of the building's temperature distribution.
