| Calculated | The data is calculated | None | |
| Calibrated | The data has been calibrated to improve accuracy | None | |
| Confirmed | The accuracy of this data was confirmed by an appropriate entity. | 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.

| Historical analysis | Data value was replaced by a machine computed value based on analysis of historical data using the same type of measurement | None | |
| Integrated | Calculation based on whole-building system interactions | None | |
| Interpolated | Data value was estimated using interpolation | None | |
| Isolated | Calculations based on single measures without interactive effects | None | |
| Measured | The value was ascertained using a device. | None | |
| Modeled | Data value was calculated using a model | None | |
| None | None | None | |
