The main benefit of this monitoring system is to reduce the energy usage by observing the actual thermal comfort value of the building constantly. The predictive model proposed in this research aims to optimize building energy performance without sacrificing occupant thermal comfort. The system was developed based on KNN (K-nearest neighbors) model using the six thermal comfort factors. The data used for evaluating our proposed model was obtained from a study of adaptive thermal comfort of lecture halls in Malaysia universities. Another set of data is also used to assess the suitability of the proposed model when applied to data of non-hot humid climate (temperate climates). As a result, the proposed monitoring system scores 72.97% of accuracy outperforms PMV that scores 43% accuracy. As for non-hot humid climate country dataset, PMV outperforms our proposed monitoring system, with 35.13% accuracy while the proposed monitoring system only reach up to 18.19%. The results of the experiment reveal that the recommended model is only suitable for use on buildings in hot-humid climate country and may not be suitable for buildings in temperate climate country. � 2020 IEEE.
