Data Sources for Bottom-Up Archetype-based Modelling of Nigerian Residential Dwellings for Scenario Analysis

Dataset Name:Literature Data, Archetype Parameter Sheets, and Schedules for the publication, named Bottom-Up Archetype-based Modelling of Nigerian Residential Dwellings for Scenario Analysis.

Description:This dataset includes Excel sheets containing literature sources, archetypal data, and schedules for Nigerian residential dwelling typologies.

Files:The following files are included in the dataset:

    Nigeria_LiteratureSources.xlsx: Excel sheet containing literature sources and references,

    Nigeria_ArchetypeParameters.xlsx: Archetype models' semantic, geometric, and technical data used in the generation of energy models,

    Nigeria_Schedules.xlsx: Excel sheet containing the operation schedules compiled from literature sources and reorganized by expert consensus and given in Designbuilder input format.

Usage:The dataset is intended for researching and analyzing the Nigerian residential buildings. The literature sources included in the Nigeria_LiteratureSources.xlsx and Nigeria_ArchetypeParameters.xlsx files can be used to verify, support, or reproduce the research findings.
