<div dir="ltr"><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Alex</div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br></span></div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br></span></div>Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 15:34:40 +0000</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">From: "Jennings, Coles via Bldg-sim" <<a href="mailto:bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org">bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org</a>></span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">To: "<a href="mailto:bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org">bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org">bldg-sim@lists.onebuilding.org</a>></span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">Subject: [Bldg-sim] 8760 Load Profiles</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">Message-ID:</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><<a href="mailto:908d9b9ee8b54a8d9619a6d7c3be6d19@PHLEXCH02.corp.dayzim.com">908d9b9ee8b54a8d9619a6d7c3be6d19@PHLEXCH02.corp.dayzim.com</a>></span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">Hello all,</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">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.</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium">Thanks,</span><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><br style="box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,monospace;font-size:medium"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"Default Monospace","Courier New",Courier,mono
