Full Description

Data--more detailed than billing data--from a substantial sample of houses are required to continue addressing unresolved questions regarding single-family retrofit performance. A data specification guideline was developed for use in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Single-Family Building Energy Retrofit Research Program. The guideline identifies the important data parameters that should be collected in DOE-sponsored research projects to address these questions. The guideline also defines the data parameters sufficiently to ensure that consistent and comparable data are collected. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to outline the scope the developed guideline and present a summary of the data parameters that were identified and (2) to discuss issues that were resolved during the development of the guideline.
