Directory of Buildings Energy Consumption Data sets (DBECD)

The Directory of Buildings Energy Consumption Data sets (DBECD) provides details of energy consumption data sets of buildings and the way accessing them. If existed, a link has been provided for the dataset. The data sets have been used for different research works. The energy data are mostly captured through three major strategies which are measurement, survey and simulation. Table below shows datasets according to these strategies.
