Normalized for weather | Revised to reflect average weather conditions | None | |
Calibrated | The data has been calibrated to improve accuracy | None | |
Rated | Data value is from manufacturer rating | None | |
Adjusted | Data value has been adjusted by some procedure | None | |
Measured | The value was ascertained using a device. | None | |
Direct input upload | The value was entered manually by a user, either through direct typing or spreadsheet upload [this is default] | None | |
Default | Defaulted | None | |
API transfer | The value was transferred via a web services or other software connection directly from another software program | None | |
Temporary | A temporary value that will be updated later | None | |

Observed | The data was noted as a fact through visual observation. | None | |
Unknown | Unknown | None | |
Calculated | The data is calculated | None | |
None | None | None | |
Estimated | The data point is an estimation of the actual value or condition. | None | |
Not applicable | Not applicable | 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 | |
Weighted | Weighted calculation | None | |
Interpolated | Data value was estimated using interpolation | 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 | |
Confirmed | The accuracy of this data was confirmed by an appropriate entity. | None | |
Isolated | Calculations based on single measures without interactive effects | None | |
Tested | Data value was determined using a test procedure | None | |
Integrated | Calculation based on whole-building system interactions | None | |
Modeled | Data value was calculated using a model | None | |
eGRID | Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database. A comprehensive source of data from US EPA's Clean Air Markets Division on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the United States. | None | |
Extrapolated | Data value was estimated using extrapolation | None |
