Exported data from the AHP-OS project for the study on recommendations for energy interface design

This repository contains data from a study on energy interface design choices for rural energy consumers in Finland. The study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework to gather expert opinions on suitable design elements for energy data visualization interfaces. A panel of fourteen experts, including software engineers, energy researchers, and professionals, participated in a workshop where they evaluated design elements through pairwise comparisons.

The data was collected using AHP-OS (https://bpmsg.com/ahp/), a web-based tool for AHP analysis. The exported project files can be imported back into AHP-OS to recreate the analysis and conduct further evaluation. Participant names have been anonymized and replaced with identifiers ranging from PPA to PPQ, where "PP" stands for project participant.

The analysis was conducted in two rounds, each representing a different energy consumer perspective, file in database includes project and result exports in CSV and JSON format for each set.

1)    Non-affluent, non-tech-savvy consumers — focusing on affordability and ease of use

A full research report will be published in ORE journal and linked to from this repository, once review has been completed.

Extended data: the extended data include the files "briefing slides LUT_ahp_energy_workshops public" and "ahp variables v3 1" where the briefing slids have been presented to the panel of expert and the ahp variable is the file was used in evaluation process. The extended data also includes the  Confirmation Email from the LUT Ethics to Prof Antti Knutas (Co-author in the study).

3)    Table used for evaluation during AHP analysis by the experts
•    filename: variables v3 1.xlsx
4)    Briefing slides, which guide the AHP process and facilitate the gathering of participants' consent.
