NIST PV Generation Data 1 minute

Abstract

NIST Engineering Lab’s Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility data captures diverse measurements from a high precision lab home that produces as much energy over the course of a year as it uses. It is an extraordinary facility that has sensors and instrumentation on nearly every facet, from energy consumption to comfort. This high resolution, high precision data has allowed NIST and researchers in the home energy and sustainability field to investigate the performance of efficient homes and have formed a basis for conducting home efficiency simulations that allow engineers to better understand how to construct better, energy efficient homes. There are nearly 400 channels of data across 11 subsystems. That means 400 opportunities to find meaningful energy use patterns and create prototypes of home energy monitoring tools and analytics.
