Data Sources for Archetype-based Energy and Material Use Estimation for the Residential Buildings in Arab Gulf Countries

<strong>Dataset Name:</strong><br> <em>Literature Data and Archetype Parameter Sheets for the publication, named Archetype-based Energy and Material Use Estimation for the Residential Buildings in Arab Gulf Countries</em>. <strong>Description:</strong><br> This dataset includes Excel sheets containing literature sources and archetypal data on GCC countries' residential dwelling typologies. <strong>Files:</strong><br> The following files are included in the dataset: <em>[CountryName]_LiteratureSources.xlsx:</em> Excel sheet containing literature sources and references, <em>[CountryName]_ArchetypeParameters.xlsx</em>: Archetype models' semantic, geometric, and technical data used in the generation of energy models, <em>[CountryName]_Schedules.xlsx:</em> Excel sheet containing the operation schedules for countries. The sheet is compiled from literature sources and reorganized by expert consensus and given in Designbuilder input format, <em>[CountryName]_Stock.xlsx:</em> Excel sheet containing additional data on the building stock, <em> VacantHouses.xlsx</em>: Vacant house rates for the countries, the found articles on the web, literature sources, etc., <strong>Usage:</strong><br> The dataset is intended for researching and analyzing the GCC countries' residential buildings. The literature sources included in the [CountryName]_LiteratureSources.xlsx and [CountryName]_ArchetypeParameters.xlsx files can be used to verify, support, or reproduce the research findings. <strong>License:</strong><br> The dataset is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. <strong>Citation:</strong><br> If you use this dataset in your research, please cite it as follows and contact the corresponding author: Akin, Sahin, Chibuikem Chrysogonus Nwagwu, Niko Heeren, and Edgar Hertwich. 2023. “Archetype-Based Energy and Material Use Estimation for the Residential Buildings in Arab Gulf Countries.” Energy and Buildings 298: 113537. https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113537. <strong>Contact:</strong><br> The archetypes' energy models (DesignBuilder or IDF files) can be provided on request.
