Abstract

Embodiments for assessing energy in a thermal energy fluid transfer system in a cloud computing environment by a processor. Behavior of the thermal energy fluid transfer system, associated with a heating service, a cooling service, or a combination thereof, may be learned according to collected data to identify one or more energy usage events. An energy usage assessment operation may be performed using temperature signal disambiguation operations, with data collected over a selected time period by one or more non-intrusive Internet of Things (IoT) sensors located at one or more selected positions in the thermal energy fluid transfer system, to learn the system performance indicators, and when coupled with ingested expected policy behavior, identify one or more energy usage waste events according to the learned behavior in real time.
