The following Diploma thesis presents the development of a model for predicting the consumption of electrical and thermal energy in residential buildings. A model which allows the calculation of energy usage on the basis of the surface of the building and additional influencing factors has been developed on the basis of the data on the energy usage in residential buildings. It was made upon the basis of the analysis of data acquired in the area of Dolenjska and is designed to predict the usage of electrical and thermal energy in the apartments, independent houses, and houses with associated farm buildings on the basis of the input data. Each type of the residential building has been modelled separately for the usage of electrical and thermal energy. I managed to develop the model for predicting the usage of electrical and thermal energy which – at 40 cases of test data – successfully predicted the energy consumption at the accuracy of ±35 %, its average deviation from the actual usage being 12 %.
