N2 - The research presented in this paper examines the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve energy-efficiency management in South Africa. This paper reviews and compares conventional methods with AI-based techniques used in energy-efficiency management systems. Various AI techniques have been investigated in this domain such as the artificial neural network and support vector machine. AI techniques offer the advantage of being more accurate when calculating non-linear parameters and thus are more efficient. Improved energy efficiency could allow more communities to gain access to electricity and improve their general living conditions.
