Abstract
A set of measured residential data has been culled from three larger data sets for use in the testing and verification of building energy analysis programs. The data consist of hourly values for heating/cooling system performance and weather conditions that are sufficient in detail, it is believed, for all existent computer programs. These dates have been encoded onto a magnetic tape. In addition, general information has been collected on the houses, occupants/occupant use, and heating/cooling systems.
