Real-time Electrocardiogram (ECG) anomaly detection is critical for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention in cardiac disorders. Existing models, such as CNNs and LSTMs, often struggle with long-range dependencies, generalization across multiple ECG patterns, and real-time inference with minimal latency. To address these limitations, we propose DeepECG-Net. This hybrid transformer-based deep learning model integrates CNNs and transformer architectures for enhanced feature representation and global dependency capture in ECG anomaly detection. Unlike conventional CNNs, which fail to handle long-term sequence dependencies, or LSTMs, which incur high computational costs, DeepECG-Net leverages a multi-head self-attention mechanism to learn both local and global ECG signal variations efficiently. This results in reduced computational overhead, improved interpretability, and superior real-time detection capabilities. DeepECG-Net achieves 98.2% accuracy with a hierarchical embedding strategy, outperforming ECGNet (88%) and LSTM models (90%). It also demonstrates significant signal reconstruction improvements, with SNR rising from 5.2 dB to 14.5 dB and MSE reducing from 0.042 to 0.007. Its low memory usage (30 MB) makes it ideal for deploying real-time clinical and wearable device applications. Our model achieves 98.2% precision, 96.8% recall, and 97.5% F1 score, closing the gap between AI-driven healthcare and real-time cardiac monitoring. The model is also extended with a federated learning framework for privacy-preserving distributed ECG anomaly detection, supporting deployment across wearable and clinical edge devices. The model was deployed on a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4 GB RAM, achieving sub-50 ms latency and 30 MB memory usage, making it ideal for real-time applications on standalone wearable platforms.

The growing energy demands and increasing environmental concerns in industrial manufacturing necessitate innovative solutions to reduce fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions. This paper presents Sustain AI, a multi-modal deep learning framework that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for defect detection, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for predictive energy consumption modeling, and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for dynamic energy optimization to enhance industrial sustainability. The framework employs IoT-based real-time monitoring and AI-driven supply chain optimization to optimize energy use. Experimental results demonstrate that Sustain AI achieves an 18.75% reduction in industrial energy consumption and a 20% decrease in CO₂ emissions through AI-driven processes and scheduling optimizations. Additionally, waste heat recovery efficiency improved by 25%, and smart HVAC systems reduced energy waste by 18%. The CNN-based defect detection model enhanced material efficiency by increasing defect identification accuracy by 42.8%, leading to lower material waste and improved production efficiency. The proposed framework also ensures economic feasibility, with a 17.2% reduction in operational costs. Sustain AI is scalable, adaptable, and fully compatible with Industry 4.0 requirements, making it a viable solution for sustainable industrial practices. Future extensions include enhancing adaptive decision-making with deep RL techniques and incorporating blockchain-based traceability for secure and transparent energy management. These findings indicate that AI-powered industrial ecosystems can achieve carbon neutrality and enhanced energy efficiency through intelligent optimization strategies.

The dramatic growth in the number of buildings worldwide has led to an increase interest in predicting energy consumption, especially for the case of residential buildings. As the heating and cooling system highly affect the operation cost of buildings; it is worth investigating the development of models to predict the heating and cooling loads of buildings. In contrast to the majority of the existing related studies, which are based on historical energy consumption data, this study considers building characteristics, such as area and floor height, to develop prediction models of heating and cooling loads. In particular, this study proposes deep neural networks models based on several hyper-parameters: the number of hidden layers, the number of neurons in each layer, and the learning algorithm. The tuned models are constructed using a dataset generated with the Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment (IESVE) simulation software for the city of Buraydah city, the capital of the Qassim region in Saudi Arabia. The Qassim region was selected because of its harsh arid climate of extremely cold winters and hot summers, which means that lot of energy is used up for cooling and heating of residential buildings. Through model tuning, optimal parameters of deep learning models are determined using the following performance measures: Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Regression (R) values, and coefficient of determination (R${}^2$). The results obtained with the five-layer deep neural network model, with 20 neurons in each layer and the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, outperformed the results of the other models with a lower number of layers. This model achieved MSE of 0.0075, RMSE 0.087, R and R${}^2$ both as high as 0.99 in predicting the heating load and MSE of 0.245, RMSE of 0.495, R and R${}^2$ both as high as 0.99 in predicting the cooling load. As the developed prediction models were based on buildings characteristics, the outcomes of the research may be relevant to architects at the pre-design stage of heating and cooling energy-efficient buildings.

In the present era, due to technological advances, the problem of energy consumption has become one of the most important problems for its environmental and economic impact. Educational buildings are one of the highest energy consuming institutions. Therefore, one has to direct the individual and society to reach the ideal usage of energy. One of the possible methods to do that is to prediction energy consumption. This study proposes an energy consumption prediction model using deep learning algorithm. To evaluate its performance, College of Computer (CoC) at Qassim University was selected to analyze the elements in the college that affect high energy consumption and data were collected from the Saudi Electricity Company of daily for 13 years. This research applied Long short term memory (LSTM) technique for medium-term prediction of energy consumption. The performance of the proposed model has been measured by evaluation metrics and achieved low Root mean square error (RMSE) which means higher accuracy of the model compared to relative studies. Consequently, this research provides a recommendation for educational organizations to reach optimal energy consumption.

Nowadays, air pollution is getting an extreme problem that affects the whole environment. Due to the dangerous effects of air pollution on human’s health, this study proposes an air pollution prediction system. Because of the high dust pollution in Saudi Arabia, and the fact that there is no system for predicting the percentage of air pollution in it, this study applies an air pollution prediction system to the most affected area in Saudi Arabia. This paper aims to forecast the concentrations of PM10 particles due to their dangerous effects. This study aims to align with the Saudi vision 2030 by having an ideal environment and act in an efficient way in case of a warning situation. It applies a deep learning technique, which called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict the air pollution in Saudi Arabia and achieved exceptional results due to the low error rates that have been obtained by this study. The error rate of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) is 0.98, for Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is 8.68 and 0.999 for R-Squared.
