Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: This dataset contains hourly load profile data for 16 commercial building types (based off the [DOE commercial reference building models](http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/commercial-reference-buildings)) and residential buildings (based off the [Building America House Simulation Protocols](http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy11osti/49246.pdf)). This dataset also uses the [Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS)](http://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/) for statistical references of building types by location. Hourly load profiles are available for over all TMY3 locations in the United States [here](http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/nsrdb/1991-2005/tmy3/). [Browse files](http://en.openei.org/datasets/files/961/pub/) in this dataset, accessible as individual files and as commercial and residential downloadable ZIP files. This dataset is approximately 4.8GiB compressed or 19GiB uncompressed. July 2nd, 2013 update: Residential High and Low load files have been updated from 366 days in a year for leap years to the more general 365 days in a normal year.; abstract: This dataset contains hourly load profile data for 16 commercial building types (based off the [DOE commercial reference building models](http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/commercial-reference-buildings)) and residential buildings (based off the [Building America House Simulation Protocols](http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy11osti/49246.pdf)).
