in information technologies and data science have enabled convenient access, storage, and analysis of massive on-site measurements, bringing about a new big-data-driven research paradigm. This paper presents a critical review of data-driven methods, particularly those methods based on larger datasets, for building energy modeling and their practical applications for improving building performances. This paper is organized based on the four essential phases of big-data-driven

from big building data can be extremely helpful for enriching the existing knowledge repository regarding building energy modeling. Furthermore, considering the ever-increasing development of smart buildings and IoT-driven smart cities, the big data-driven research paradigm will become an essential supplement to existing scientific research methods in the building sector.
Introduction
Buildings represent a significant amount of total energy consumption in the world. According to the World Energy Balances (IEA 2019a), the building sector accounts for more than 30% of the final energy consumption globally and contributes to nearly 40% of global carbon-dioxide emissions. Energy consumption and carbon emissions are expected to continue increasing in upcoming years (IEA 2019b). As such, building energy perform
