Geospatial datasets of energy consumption drivers in the Ecuador's residential sector

The geospatial datasets presented here provides high-resolution gridded data respect to Population, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), GDP per capita (GDPpc), Human Development Index (HDI) and four residential energy demands for Ecuador, between 2010 and 2020. Each variable follows a specific method and uses other available data to end with the calculated datasets. Gridded population dataset primarily uses data from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network, which is calibrated using Ecuadorian official data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC). Gridded GDP uses data provided by the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE), whereas GDPpc is the relationship between GDP and the previously calculated population counts. The HDI is a combination of data provided by INEC, BCE, Minister of Education and Secretary of Higher Education. The four gridded energy demand datasets for the residential sector are (i) space heating, (ii) space cooling, (iii) water heating, and (iv) total energy demand. To end with these demands, the approach combines datasets from NASA temperature with population and energy balances by the Agency for the Regulation and Control of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources. These datasets provide high-profile information for long-term energy policy and planning for national and local government. These datasets are also important for the research community and enterprises to prioritize energy research and development.本研究发布的地理空间数据集涵盖2010至2020年厄瓜多尔的人口、国内生产总值（Gross Domestic Product，GDP）、人均国内生产总值（GDP per capita，GDPpc）、人类发展指数（Human Development Index，HDI），以及四类住宅能源需求的高分辨率格点数据。各变量均采用专属研究方法，结合现有公开数据完成计算，最终生成对应数据集。格点人口数据集主要采用国际地球科学信息网络中心（Center for International Earth Science Information Network）的数据，并通过厄瓜多尔国家统计与普查研究所（National Institute of Statistics and Censuses，INEC）提供的官方数据进行校准。格点GDP数据集采用厄瓜多尔中央银行（Central Bank of Ecuador，BCE）提供的数据，而人均国内生产总值则为GDP与此前计算得到的人口总数的比值。人类发展指数数据集则整合了INEC、BCE、教育部以及高等教育秘书处提供的相关数据。本次发布的四类住宅部门格点能源需求数据集分别为：(i) 空间供暖需求、(ii) 空间制冷需求、(iii) 热水供应需求，以及(iv) 总能源需求。为完成上述四类能源需求数据集的构建，本研究方法整合了美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration，NASA）的气温数据、人口数据，以及能源与非再生自然资源监管控制署（Agency for the Regulation and Control of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources）提供的能源平衡数据。本数据集可为国家及地方政府的长期能源政策制定与规划工作提供高价值参考信息，同时也可为科研界与企业开展能源领域研发优先级规划提供重要支撑。
