Rising above Ottawa's Glebe neighbourhood with its large stone and red brick building, the church represents an excellent example of the High Victorian Gothic Revival style. The distinguishing features of the building are the pointed openings, the buttresses, the windows in groups of three and the pitched roof. The Fourth Avenue Baptist Church features the main characteristics of a Baptist church. The largest and most important part of the building is the sanctuary. Other important rooms include Sunday school rooms, a hall or function room and kitchen for social gathering, offices and vestries for staff. Like all community buildings, the church has also foyers and restrooms. As was previously said the sanctuary is the most important element of the church. The teaching and preaching of the Bible take a central role in Baptist worship. As such, a central aspect of the sanctuary i...

While preliminary analysis had been completed on this dataset, this research undertook an in-depth statistical analysis of the data to identify trends and important variables. Eight machine learning algorithms were employed to predict energy usage as a function of previous energy use and select physical features. The dataset did not possess the appropriate variables to predict such usage accurately. Characteristics such as building system efficiency, construction assemblies, condition, compactness, and window to wall ratio are thus recommended for inclusion in future data-gathering initiatives. https://digital.library.ryerson.ca/islandora/object/RULA:8631/datastream/LAW_RSCR-4.80MB/viewhttps://digital.library.ryerson.ca/islandora/object/RULA:8631/datastream/LAW-ExTa-428KB/viewhttps://digital.library.ryerson.ca/islan...
