Large Language Models for HVAC Operations in Building Energy Systems: A Critical Review of Methods, Applications, and Deployment Readiness
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- A systematic review of 66 studies on large language models for HVAC building systems found only four pilot-level projects and zero operational deployments.
- Why it matters
- Building engineers and facility managers evaluating LLM adoption for heating, cooling, and energy management should understand current maturity limits.
- Watch out
- LLMs show promise only as semantic and workflow support layers, not autonomous controllers; traditional ML and model predictive control remain more reliable for actual control.
