The method by which the data was learned.
List Options | Option Definition | Unit of Measure | |
---|---|---|---|
Temporary | A temporary value that will be updated later | None | |
Integrated | Calculation based on whole-building system interactions | None | |
Isolated | Calculations based on single measures without interactive effects | None | |
Adjusted | Data value has been adjusted by some procedure | None | |
Rated | Data value is from manufacturer rating | None | |
Modeled | Data value was calculated using a model | None | |
Tested | Data value was determined using a test procedure | None | |
Extrapolated | Data value was estimated using extrapolation | None | |
Interpolated | Data value was estimated using interpolation | None | |
Historical analysis | Data value was replaced by a machine computed value based on analysis of historical data using the same type of measurement | 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 | |
