Abstract

This paper presents an occupant-centric load optimization framework for Smart Green Townhouses (SGTs). A hybrid Long Short-Term Memory and Convolutional Neural Network (LSTM-CNN) model is combined with real-time Internet of Things (IoT) data to predict and optimize energy usage based on occupant behavior and environmental conditions. Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) is applied to balance energy efficiency, cost reduction, and occupant comfort. This approach enables intelligent control of HVAC systems, lighting, and appliances. The proposed framework is shown to significantly reduce load demand, peak consumption, costs, and carbon emissions while improving thermal comfort and lighting adequacy. These results highlight the potential to provide adaptive solutions for sustainable residential energy management.
