Dataset

Abstract

Semantic metadata standards for buildings such as Brick and Project Haystack show promise in enabling wide-scale deployment of energy-efficiency measures and advanced building management technologies. However, techniques for converting existing diverse and idiosyncratic forms of building metadata to these standard forms is an area of active research. To encourage and facilitate research into the development and evaluation of such techniques, we are releasing an open dataset of metadata pulled from real building management systems, containing attributes for 103,064 points over 92 buildings. In addition, we are releasing an open-source tool for scraping and cleaning metadata from building management systems (BMS) for contribution to the dataset.
