      <abstract><p>Seasonal heating load time sequence has the double trends of increasing and fluctuating, so it's difficult to select a model to forecast it. In this paper, a combined model of gray model and artificial neural network model was presented to forecast seasonal heating load. A concrete model was established and was verified through actual examples.</p></abstract>
