Development of building-performance-based climate maps of Kazakhstan

The research introduces an innovative methodology, combining multivariate clustering with spatial analysis to classify Kazakhstan's territory into Climate Zones (CZ) using building energy consumption data. Based on the idea that CZB should follow the corresponding range of building energy performance, it establishes a critical connection between climate characteristics, geography, and building energy consumption, offering a holistic understanding of this complex relationship. Anticipated outcomes include the development of a novel CZB map, recommendations for influential parameters affecting building energy consumption, and a framework for predicting energy needs using advanced machine-learning techniques.
