Interpolated | Data value was estimated using interpolation | None | |
Extrapolated | Data value was estimated using extrapolation | None | |
Tested | Data value was determined using a test procedure | None | |
Modeled | Data value was calculated using a model | None | |
Rated | Data value is from manufacturer rating | None | |
Adjusted | Data value has been adjusted by some procedure | None | |
Isolated | Calculations based on single measures without interactive effects | None | |
Integrated | Calculation based on whole-building system interactions | None | |
Temporary | A temporary value that will be updated later | None |
