Power measurements for various residential appliances in the System Performance Lab (SPL) in the Energy System Integration Facility (ESIF). This data set was collected as part of a project evaluating a new type of power meter that can reduce the cost of submetering many circuits in a building (data from sensors being evaluated are not included in this data set).
SPL contains three homes, each with a set of major appliances and outlets for minor appliances and electronics. Every circuit has a dedicated power meter. The lab can be used for a range of different types of projects, such as evaluating innovative sensors and controls, investigating the performance of home energy management systems, looking at the impact of demand response programs on individual appliances, and integrating renewable generation and energy storage with residential buildings.

| Name | Size | Type | Resource Description | History |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Export_SPL_House2_050216_Data.csv | 4.18 MB | Data | Power data from residential appliances. Format: A timestamp column gives the date and time (at 1Hz resolution) in Excel’s serial day format (days since January 1, 1900 12:00am), which can be displayed as a date and time using Excel’s number formatting options. The rest of the columns are power data for different equipment. For each measurement, there is a data column (such as DP2_Condenser_Power_Val (Actual Values)) and a units column (DP2_Condenser_Power_Units). There are three columns that say VAR _Val at the end of the description, instead of Power_Val – these are reactive power measurements and the units are actually VARs, not Watts. The name of appliance is given in the column description. |
