Model America - Annual Baseline Model Generation and Simulation for Arizona Buildings using ORNL's AutoBEM

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed the Automatic Building Energy Modeling (AutoBEM) to generate and simulate the OpenStudio and EnergyPlus building energy models in the Arizona Sun Corridor with necessary inputs from other components of the digital twin and necessary outputs to be used as inputs to other components of the digital twin. The models were simulated for a baseline scenario using TMY weather data to ensure proper integration with other stakeholder models. 

This dataset includes the simulation results for each county in Arizona.
