+```
+
+## Dataset
+The dataset includes energy consumption data with features such as:
+- Temporal features (hour, day, month, season)
+- Weather conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed)
+- Building characteristics (size, type, occupancy)
+- Historical consumption patterns
+- Holiday and weekend indicators
+
+## Installation
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+```python
+from src.model import EnergyPredictor
+
+predictor = EnergyPredictor()
+predictor.load_model('models/energy_model.pkl')
+prediction = predictor.predict(input_features)
+```
+
