Model America - Energy Simulation Output for 2022 Summer in Arizona 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).

This dataset include the energy simulation output using NASA Power 2022 weather data (June 1st-August 31st) for each county in AZ. The output field includes basic energy simulation outputs and Anthropogenic Emissions.
