[Bldg-sim] 8760 Load Profiles

[Alex Chapin via Bldg-sim]

One approach I've done recently is to use a combination of the 8,760
profiles in HOMER PRO (you can get the profiles while using the free trial)
by building industry type (industrial, commercial, residential) and then
scale them to match the annual energy use determined from CBECS for the
specific building type and climate of your buildings. CBECS does have
energy broken out by end-use category, but this approach described above
won't tell you the 8,760 profiles of each end-use category.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello all,

We're conducting a microgrid study for a campus-style facility and need to
be able to aggregate the hourly loads of the campus buildings (various
types and sizes) into a single load profile. I'm reaching out to gauge what
the best sources are for typical 8,760 building load profiles (free or
purchased). Ideally these would be broken out by end-use category, but
that's not a strict requirement. At a minimum, I'd need the ability to pull
a unique profile based on building use type and climate zone.

Thanks,
