Adjusted Data value has been adjusted by some procedure None
API transfer The value was transferred via a web services or other software connection directly from another software program None
Calculated The data is calculated None
Calibrated The data has been calibrated to improve accuracy None

Deemed Deemed savings for an energy improvement that have been pre-determined, based on historical measured experience or based on standardized calculations. Deemed savings are a type of isolated savings estimate. The advantage of deemed savings is their simplicity and standardization of savings estimates. Disadvantages include inaccuracy, if building-specific conditions vary significantly from the values used in the deemed savings estimate. None
Default Defaulted None
Direct input upload The value was entered manually by a user, either through direct typing or spreadsheet upload [this is default] None
