ASHRAE 1836-RP main list of energy efficiency measures

<p>Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) play a central role throughout the building energy efficiency industry, and lists of EEMs therefore exist in a variety of resources. However, each of these use different conventions for describing and organizing measures, which presents a major challenge for aggregating information across these resources.&nbsp; The ASHRAE 1836-RP main list of energy efficiency measures was assembled as part of ASHRAE Research Project 1836 in order to discover trends in how existing resources describe and organize EEMs.&nbsp; Analysis of this dataset supported the overall objective of 1836-RP, which was to develop a standardized system for the categorization and characterization of EEMs.</p> <p>The dataset contains the complete list of 3,490 EEMs assembled and analyzed as part of 1836-RP. The EEMs were collected from 16 different source documents during the 1836-RP literature review from September 2019 through July 2020. An initial list of suggested sources was provided by the members of the 1836-RP Project Advisory Board, and additional documents were added through the authors&rsquo; literature review.</p> <p>A data dictionary can be found in the README.txt file.&nbsp; Additional information on working with this dataset can be found in the project repository: <a href="https://github.com/retrofit-lab/ashrae-1836-rp-text-mining">https://github.com/retrofit-lab/ashrae-1836-rp-text-mining</a></p>
