Model America - Summer 2020 Arizona Building Energy Simulation Results from ORNL's AutoBEM

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed the Automatic Building Energy Modeling (AutoBEM) software suite to process multiple types of data, extract building-specific descriptors, generate building energy models, and simulate them on High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. For more information, see AutoBEM-related publications (bit.ly/AutoBEM).

Data is provided for 2,555,152 buildings located within the boundary of Arizona in the United States:
