Orlando Building Energy Performance and Emissions Data

Energy efficiency scores for buildings, similar to MPG ratings for cars, provide transparency for tenants and buyers. The dataset includes metrics like ENERGY STAR scores, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy use intensity for properties in Orlando. It is published by the City of Orlando and was last updated in May 2024.

Use Cases

• Predict a building's ENERGY STAR score using features like Building Size, Primary Use Type, and Site Energy Use Intensity (Site EUI).
• Cluster buildings by energy performance using Total Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Weather Normalized Source Energy Use Intensity (Source EUI) to identify outliers.
• Analyze the relationship between Compliance Status and geographic location using Lat, Long, and Orlando Neighborhoods 2 columns.
• Forecast future Total Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions for a building based on its historical Year and Property Notes data.

Strengths

• Includes 17 distinct columns covering performance metrics, location, and administrative data.
• Contains geospatial coordinates (Lat, Long) and neighborhood boundaries for spatial analysis.
• Public disclosure promotes data transparency, as stated in the city's policy description.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Data completeness is uncertain, as ENERGY STAR score is listed as 'if applicable'.
• Temporal coverage is unclear, with only a last updated date provided.
