Building energy consumption update: 7/12/2010:

It turns out the existing Lakeport building consumes 11,752 kWh/yr, instead of 70,000 kWh/yr. This makes a big difference in our modeling. Tommy and I have incorporated these changes into the following files:

  • Site Building Energy Consumption: Includes the building energy consumption information for each of the three sites, based on data updated as of August 16. Has the scaled kWh/day values for all-electric, hybrid-electric, and hybrid-propane consumption, all of which is needed in HOMER for accurate projections.
  • Building Electricity Hourly Load : All-Electric : Contains hourly load info for ALL ELECTRIC buildings. For convention, use this file as "Primary Load 1" in HOMER.
  • Building Electricity Hourly Load : Hybrid : Contains hourly ELECTRIC load info for HYBRID buildings. For convention,
    use this file as "Primary Load 2" in HOMER.
  • Building Thermal Hourly Load : Hybrid : Contains hourly THERMAL load info for HYBRID buildings. For convention,

    use this file as "Thermal Load 1" in HOMER.

This contains data files such as building energy consumption and solar resources.
