Our team is proposing to run a full-scale energy demand response experiment in an office building. Although this is an exciting endeavor which will provide value to the community, collecting training data for the reinforcement learning agent is costly and will be limited. In this work, we apply a meta-learning architecture to warm start the experiment with simulated tasks, to increase sample efficiency. We present results that demonstrate a similar a step up in complexity still corresponds with better learning.
