Description
Datasets for residential appliances energy usage/efficiency. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) collects manufacturer data about the energy use and efficiency of appliances. All of the data was submitted by manufacturers under the FTC's Appliance Labeling Rule (see "FTC Appliance Label Ruling" resource below). For more information about what is included in the individual datasets see the resource descriptions.
For more up to date residential energy information, please visit the ResStock resource linked below.

| 3 ResStock Annual Baseline Results with Component Loads | HTML | The ResStock Analysis Tool was developed by NREL with support from the U.S. Department of Energy to provide a new approach to large-scale residential analysis by combining large public and private data sources, statistical sampling, detailed sub hourly building simulations, and high-performance computing. This combination achieves unprecedented granularity and accuracy in modeling the diversity of the housing stock and the distributional impacts of building technologies in different communities. The annual baseline energy results from a national-scale ResStock run use typical meteorological year 3 (TMY3) files for energy simulations. Results include heating and cooling loads for individual components of each building. Component loads describe the heating/cooling load that can be attributed to specific elements of a home, such as heat transfer through walls or internal gains. Additionally, these results include the standard ResStock outputs for housing characteristics and numerous energy outputs by end-use and fuel. A snapshot of the ResStock version used to produce this data, including a configuration file for the run can be found using the Source Code resource link. | Open resource |
