This document discusses a study on building demand forecasting for a satellite town. It outlines objectives to forecast building demand for a satellite town using literature on forecasting techniques like artificial neural networks and regression analysis. It describes factors that influence building demand forecasting and satellite town selection like population, area, buildings, accessibility and infrastructure availability. The document provides population and area statistics of Erode district and city in India. It also outlines a project schedule and references related literature.

2. INTRODUCTION
• The effects of population growth are varied
and vast. While population growth, of any
species, may be beneficial to a certain extent,
there may come a time when the number in the
population exceeds the natural resources
available to sustain it. This is referred to as
overpopulation. The consequences of such an
event are severe and major.

3. SATELLITE TOWN
• A satellite town or satellite city is a concept in
urban planning that refers essentially to smaller
metropolitan areas which are located somewhat
near to, but are mostly independent of larger
metropolitan areas.
• Satellite cities are small or medium-sized cities
near a large metropolis, that:
• predate the metropolis' suburban expansion
• are at least partially independent from that
metropolis economically and socially

4. Continues…
• are physically separated from the metropolis by
rural territory or by a major geographic barrier
such as a large river;
• satellite cities should have their own independent
urbanized area, or equivalent
• have their own bedroom communities
• have a traditional downtown surrounded by
traditional "inner city" neighborhoods
• may or may not be counted as part of the large
metropolis' Combined Statistical Area

5. OBJECTIVES
• A study on the building demand forecasting
for a satellite town

• Peak daily water demand forecasts are required for the cost-
effective and sustainable management and expansion of urban
water supply infrastructure.
• This paper compares multiple linear regression, time series
analysis, and artificial neural networks ANNs as techniques
for peak daily summer water demand forecast modeling.
• Analysis was performed on 10 years of peak daily water
demand data

• Power System planning starts with Electric load (demand)
forecasting.
• Accurate electricity load forecasting is one of the most
important challenges in managing supply and demand of the
electricity, since the electricity demand is volatile in nature;
• The aim of this study deals with electricity consumption in
India, to forecast future projection of demand for a period of
19 years from 2012 to 2030.

•Interest in using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for forecasting
has led to a tremendous surge in research activities in the past
decade.
•While ANNs provide a great deal of promise, they also embody
much uncertainty. Researchers to date are still not certain about
the effect of key factors on forecasting performance of ANNs.
•This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey of ANN applications
in forecasting. Our purpose is to provide
(1) a synthesis of published research in this area,
(2) insights on ANN modeling issues, and
(3) the future research directions.

• The purpose of this study is to forecast energy use in one of
the MENA countries, Jordan using annual data over the
period 1976-2008.
• The methodology used in this study follows the artificial
neural networks analyses.
• We use four independent variables, namely, gross domestic
product, population, exports, and imports to forecast energy
use.

12. SELECTION OF SOFTWARE
• Artificial Neural Network
• Statistical Product and Service Solutions
(SPSS)

13. ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
• Neural network software is used to simulate,
research, develop and apply
artificial neural networks,
biological neural networks and in some cases a
wider array of adaptive systems.
• Commonly used artificial neural network
simulators include the
Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator (SNNS),
Emergent, JavaNNS, Neural Lab and
NetMaker

14. Continues...
• A neural network (NN), in the case of artificial
neurons called artificial neural network (ANN), is an
interconnected group of natural or artificial neurons
that uses a mathematical or computational model for
information processing based on a connectionistic
approach to computation.

15. STATISTICAL PRODUCT AND
SERVICE SOLUTIONS (SPSS)
• SPSS consists of an integrated series of computer
programs which enable the user to read data from
questionnaire surveys and other sources (e.g. Demand
and administrative records),to manipulate them in
various ways and to produce a wide range of
statistical analyses and reports, together
with documentation.

16. Continues...
• SPSS Statistics is a software package used for
statistical analysis. It is now officially named "IBM
SPSS Statistics". Companion products in the same
family are used for survey authoring and deployment
(IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM
SPSS Modeler), text analytics, and collaboration and
deployment (batch and automated scoring services).

17. Continues...
• With SPSS predictive analytics software can
predict with confidence what will happen next so that
can make smarter decisions, solve problems and
improve outcomes.
