Arizona Building Aggregated Parameters: Model America v1.0 Data for 146,557 1kmx1km Grid Cells

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed the Automatic Building Energy Modeling (AutoBEM) software suite to process multiple types of data, extract building-specific descriptors, generate building energy models, and simulate them on High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. For more information, see AutoBEM-related publications (bit.ly/AutoBEM).

Building height

Building footprint area

Building total floor area

Height-to-width ratio (height / [longest polygon vertex pair distance]) 

Number of buildings (ratio of each building type)

 Street orientation (longest polygon vertex pair's degree)

Rooftop area density (total roof area / total cell area)

Rooftop area density (total roof area / total cell area)

Lambda_p (roof area / total cell area)

Lambda_b (surface area of buildings (roof + vertical walls) / total cell area)

Please note that certain parameters include the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, maximum, and minimum values.

Three sets of data are provided for 2,555,153 buildings located within the boundary of Arizona in the United States:

Data (3.6MB *.csv) - Arizona 146,557 Grid Cell Locations.

Data (15MB *.csv) - Arizona Building Aggregated Parameters Data developed for the Grid Cells.

Data (2.5MB *.csv) - Arizona Building Aggregated Parameters Data developed for the Grid Cells (Selected Parameters).

This data is made free and openly available in hopes of stimulating any simulation-informed use case. Data is provided as-is with no warranties, express or implied, regarding fitness for a particular purpose.
