The Building Data Genome Project 2: Energy meter data from the ASHRAE Great Energy Predictor III competition
share
This paper describes an open data set of 3,053 energy meters from 1,636 non-residential buildings with a range of two full years (2016 and 2017) at an hourly frequency (17,544 measurements per meter resulting in approximately 53.6 million measurements). These meters are collected from 19 sites across North America and Europe, and they measure electrical, heating and cooling water, steam, and solar energy as well as water and irrigation meters. Part of these data was used in the Great Energy Predictor III (GEPIII) competition hosted by the ASHRAE organization in October-December 2019. This subset includes data from 2,380 meters from 1,448 buildings that were used in the GEPIII, a machine learning competition for long-term prediction with an application to measurement and verification. This paper describes the process of data collection, cleaning, and convergence of time-series meter data, the meta-data about the buildings, and complementary weather data. This data set can be used for further prediction benchmarking and prototyping as well as anomaly detection, energy analysis, and building type classification.
