be to use the DoE prototype buildings to create sample load profiles. For those that are not already aware, I located this database, which includes both commercial and residential 8,760 load profiles, broken out by end-use:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with this database?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

more metered data I see coming back from our clients (which can take a lot of begging to get), the more I realize that some of the “typical” profiles from standard modeling guidelines are a little more idealized than I used to think.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">One option is to use the reference building models used to test development of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and output 8760 hour end-use data. The models by themselves do not output the 8760 data but it is a minor tweak to allow them to do that.
18 building types available in 16 climate zones. <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.energycodes.gov_development_commercial_prototype-5Fmodels&d=DwMFaQ&c=xB5UQg5qXm2axe_t44neldV-XNditz6D2ZXZLA0vHlE&r=JrIPsTq2z-_669uhqn51VqSZFL7dpX6NqxKBTKpeQZ9m5XksAJHnQhCI_rEcbMFG&m=cqRY1mJf56oxqepBYgWSPa-8S1fLmGwU3qsjkHWFRgQ&s=-18u1FuXkYX77l1jU7blP0wJRKPaaTqoJKDmMVwDwwA&e=">https://www.energycodes.gov/development/commercial/prototype_models</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
