Building Component Library: An Online Repository to Facilitate Building Energy Model Creation; Preprint

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This paper describes the Building Component Library (BCL), the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) online repository of building components that can be directly used to create energy models. This comprehensive, searchable library consists of components and measures as well as the metadata which describes them. The library is also designed to allow contributors to easily add new components,providing a continuously growing, standardized list of components for users to draw upon.
