    Description

    The numbers used in the climate zone map don't have a title or legend. The California climate zones shown in this map are not the same as what we commonly call climate areas such as "desert" or "alpine" climates. The climate zones are based on energy use, temperature, weather and other factors.This is explained in the Title 24 energy efficiency standards glossary section:"The Energy Commission established 16 climate zones that represent a geographic area for which an energy budget is established. These energy budgets are the basis for the standards...." "(An) energy budget is the maximum amount of energy that a building, or portion of a building...can be designed to consume per year.""The Energy Commission originally developed weather data for each climate zone by using unmodified (but error-screened) data for a representative city and weather year (representative months from various years). The Energy Commission analyzed weather data from weather stations selected for (1) reliability of data, (2) currency of data, (3) proximity to population centers, and (4) non-duplication of stations within a climate zone."Using this information, they created representative temperature data for each zone.

    Description

    Zoning is a locally regulated law that is used as a guideline for land management control and conformity by establishing specific policy that must be followed in the use of land and buildings. Zoning asserts explicit uses that are permitted under varying circumstances. It dictates reasonable development by protecting property from detrimental uses on nearby properties. Zoning also standardizes the size of lots, the building set backs from roads or adjoining property, maximum height of buildings, the population density, and other land use issues.Zoning is used to designate, regulate and restrict the location and use of buildings, structures and land, for agriculture, residence, commerce, trade, industry or other purposes; to regulate and limit the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures hereafter erected or altered to regulate and determine the size of yards and other open spaces and to regulate and limit the density of population; and for said purposes to divide the City into zones of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. These regulations are deemed necessary in order to encourage the most appropriate use of land; to conserve and stabilize the value of property; to provide adequate open spaces for light and air, and to prevent and fight fires; to prevent undue concentration of population; to lessen congestion on streets; to facilitate adequate provisions for community utilities and facilities such as transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and to promote health, safety, and the general welfare all in accordance with the comprehensive plan.For more information, please refer to Section 12.04 of the Los Angeles Planning and Zoning Municipal Code and the Generalized Summary of Zoning Regulations, City of Los Angeles.Refresh Rate: Monthly

    Land located within the Eugene Urban Growth Area is zoned to provide areas suitable for certain types of development. Each zone provides a set of regulations governing the uses, building setbacks, height, and other development standards. Property may also be subject to an overlay zone. The overlay establishes additional regulations beyond the base zone to address specific community objectives, such as protection of environmentally sensitive areas or improving the efficient use of public transit. In some cases, overlays may provide an exception to the standard regulations for the base zone.Base Zones: Land located within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary is zoned to provide areas suitable for certain types of development. Each base zone provides a set of regulations governing the uses, building setbacks, building height and other development features.Overlay Zones: Property may also be subject to one or more overlay zones. Overlay zones establish additional regulations beyond the base zone to address specific community objectives, such as protection of environmentally sensitive areas or improving the efficient use of public transit.Special Area Zones: A special area zone is a type of base zone that is applied to a specific area of the city that possesses distinctive buildings or natural features that have special significance for the community and requires special consideration or implementation of conservation and development measures that can not be achieved through application of the standard base zones.Special Area Zone Subareas: Some special area zones are further divided into subareas, such as commercial or single-family residential. These subareas establish regulations that govern the uses and development of these specific areas.Read more about the Zoning Map.

    Description

    The smart building represented by the dataset is divided into five zones, where each zone has 2 to 3 offices. The building has photovoltaic panels with a generation peak of 7.5 kW, inside sensors, light intensity control, and all consumption measured by load type. The data was collected in 5 minutes periods.

    By zones, the buildings have a distribution of 6 researchers in Zone#1, 5 researchers in Zone#2, 5 researchers in Zone#3, 3 researchers in Zone#4, and 5 researchers in Zone#5. Zone#1 includes a meeting room, and Zone#2 includes a server room. Regarding the server room, its HVAC unit was measured in HVAC#2, however, near the end of the year, the unit was removed from the monitoring system.

    The light intensity values represent the current state of the lamps and have a linear correlation with the lamp’s consumption.

    The dataset represents raw data without any treatment, this means that it is possible to find errors. The data do not have missing reading periods, but they can have a fixed zero (0) value, indicating a failure in the system. You can assume that periods with zero voltage represent an error in that zone at that period.


    We would be grateful if you could acknowledge the use of this dataset in your publications. Please use the Zenodo publication to cite this work.

Description

The numbers used in the climate zone map don't have a title or legend. The California climate zones shown in this map are not the same as what we commonly call climate areas such as "desert" or "alpine" climates. The climate zones are based on energy use, temperature, weather and other factors.This is explained in the Title 24 energy efficiency standards glossary section:"The Energy Commission established 16 climate zones that represent a geographic area for which an energy budget is established. These energy budgets are the basis for the standards...." "(An) energy budget is the maximum amount of energy that a building, or portion of a building...can be designed to consume per year.""The Energy Commission originally developed weather data for each climate zone by using unmodified (but error-screened) data for a representative city and weather year (representative months from various years). The Energy Commission analyzed weather data from weather stations selected for (1) reliability of data, (2) currency of data, (3) proximity to population centers, and (4) non-duplication of stations within a climate zone."Using this information, they created representative temperature data for each zone. The remainder of the weather data for each zone is still that of the representative city." The representative city for each climate zone (CZ) is:CZ 1: ArcataCZ 2: Santa RosaCZ 3: OaklandCZ 4: San Jose-ReidCZ 5: Santa MariaCZ 6: TorranceCZ 7: San Diego-LindberghCZ 8: FullertonCZ 9: Burbank-GlendaleCZ10: RiversideCZ11: Red BluffCZ12: SacramentoCZ13: FresnoCZ14: PalmdaleCZ15: Palm Spring-IntlCZ16: Blue CanyonFor more information regarding the climate zone map, please contact the Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards Hotline at:E-mail: title24@energy.ca.gov916-654-5106 800-772-3300 (toll free in California)
