Oze Energies : Optimizing energy consumptions
This data challenge aims at introducing a new statistical model to analyze energy consumptions in several buildings using observations received from sensors. These observations are decomposed into: -
Predict which clients reduced their consumption
EDF is constantly seeking to improve customer experience, notably in helping its customers to better understand and thus better manage their energy consumption.

Predict air quality at the street level
We propose to predict the air quality level at the street level in several French cities. To reach this goal, we rely on an increasingly popular kind of model in the atmospheric science community call
