In a heat pump system, performance is an important indicator that should be monitored for system optimization, fault diagnosis, and operational efficiency improvement. Real‐time performance measurement and monitoring during heat pump operation is difficult because expensive performance measurement devices or additional installation of various monitoring sensors required for performance calculation are required. When using a data‐based machine‐learning model, it is possible to predict and monitor performance by finding the relationship between input and output values through an existing sensor. In this study, the performance prediction model of the air‐cooled heat pump system was developed and verified using artificial neural network, support vector ma-chine, random forest, and K‐nearest neighbor model. The operation data of the heat pump system installed in the university laboratory was measured and a prediction model for each machine‐learn-ing stage was developed. The mean bias error analysis is −3.6 for artificial neural network, −5 for artificial neural network, −7.7 for random forest, and −8.3 for K‐nearest neighbor. The artificial neural network model with the highest accuracy and the shortest calculation time among the developed prediction models was applied to the Building Automation System to enable real‐time performance monitoring and to confirm the field applicability of the developed model.
