The researchers used an evolving learning approach called growing Gaussian mixture regression (GGMR) to estimate cooling rates in passive chilled beam (PCB) systems. The method entailed using actual system measurements and data from building energy models for training, evolution, and validation. To handle differences in system functioning that extend beyond the original training data, GGMR constantly modifies important parameters such as weight coefficients, means, and covariance matrices of Gaussian components. 

The study made a strong argument for GGMR’s efficacy as an evolving learning-based, data-driven strategy for precisely projecting cooling rates in PCB systems. The research also delves into the selection of crucial performance characteristics for GGMR models, such as the number of components, training data size, and learning rate.
