Model America - Arizona extract from ORNL's AutoBEM

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). Two sets of sample data are provided for 2,555,152 buildings located within the boundary of Arizona in the United States: Data (884.3MB *.csv) - minimalist list of each building (rows) for the following fields (columns) ID - unique building ID Centroid - building center location in latitude/longitude (from Footprint2D) Footprint2D - building polygon of 2D footprint (lat1/lon1_lat2/lon2_...) State_abbr - state name Area - estimate of total conditioned floor area (ft2) Area2D - footprint area (ft2) Height - building height (ft) NumFloors - number of floors (above-grade) WWR_surfaces - percent of each facade (pair of points from Footprint2D) covered by fenestration/windows (average 14.5% for residential, 40% for commercial buildings) CZ - ASHRAE Climate Zone designation BuildingType - DOE prototype building designation (IECC=residential) as implemented by OpenStudio-standards Standard - building vintage Sample Models (21.74GB*.zip by county) – OpenStudio and EnergyPlus building energy models named according to ID ESS-Dive Revised dataset: New J ; Stubbings A ; Li F ; Bass B ; Adams M ; Berres A (2023): Model America - Arizona extract from ORNL's AutoBEM v1.1.
