“…NILM proves invaluable in deciphering user behavior regarding energy consumption. By disaggregating energy data at the appliance level, NILM provides detailed insights into usage patterns, revealing daily routines, appliance interactions, and trends in energy consumption over time [1], [14], [124], [156], [287], [288]. This level of granularity allows for a deep understanding of when and how users engage with their devices.…”

Heat, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are some of the most energy-intensive equipment in buildings and their faulty or inefficient operation can significantly increase energy waste. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), which is a software-based tool, has been a popular research area over the last few decades. NILM can play an important role in providing future energy efficiency feedback and developing fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) tools in smart buildings. Therefore, the review of NILM-based methods for FDD and the energy efficiency (EE) assessment of HVACs can be beneficial for users as well as buildings and facilities operators. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first review paper on the application of NILM techniques in these areas and highlights their effectiveness and limitations. This review shows that even though NILM could be successfully implemented for FDD and the EE evaluation of HVACs, and enhance the performance of these techniques, there are many research opportunities to improve or develop NILM-based FDD methods to deal with real-world challenges. These challenges and future research works are also discussed in-depth.

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been seen as an attractive area of research for civil engineering professionals to subdivide complex issues. Based on the assignment’s history, nearby agents, and objective, the agent intended to take the appropriate action to complete the task. MAS models complex systems, smart grids, and computer networks. MAS has problems with agent coordination, security, and work distribution despite its use. This paper reviews MAS definitions, attributes, applications, issues, and communications. For this reason, MASs have drawn interest from computer science and civil engineering experts to solve complex difficulties by subdividing them into smaller assignments. Agents have individual responsibilities. Each agent selects the best action based on its activity history, interactions with neighbors, and purpose. MAS uses the modeling of complex systems, smart grids, and computer networks. Despite their extensive use, MAS still confronts agent coordination, security, and work distribution challenges. This study examines MAS’s definitions, characteristics, applications, issues, communications, and evaluation, as well as the classification of MAS applications and difficulties, plus research references. This paper should be a helpful resource for MAS researchers and practitioners. MAS in controlling smart grids, including energy management, energy marketing, pricing, energy scheduling, reliability, network security, fault handling capability, agent-to-agent communication, SG-electrical cars, SG-building energy systems, and soft grids, have been examined. More than 100 MAS-based smart grid control publications have been reviewed, categorized, and compiled.
