Modelled Energy Consumption for Melbourne Buildings in 2016 Retrofit Scenario

Modelled energy consumption data for commercial and residential buildings across the City of Melbourne municipality. The dataset is a 2016 projection based on building attributes like age and floor area, created by CSIRO for a study commissioned by IMAP Councils. It is presented at a block-level scale and excludes the industrial sector.

Use Cases

• Analyze projected energy consumption changes from a 2011 baseline to a 2016 retrofit scenario across building blocks.
• Model relationships between building attributes like age and floor area and their projected energy use.
• Compare energy performance between commercial and residential building blocks under the retrofit scenario.
• Integrate block-level consumption projections with other City of Melbourne datasets for urban energy planning.

Strengths

• Data is modelled based on specific building attributes such as building age and floor area.
• Includes both commercial and residential building types.
• Projection is based on a defined 2016 retrofit scenario relative to a 2011 baseline.

Limitations

• Data is modelled, not actual meter-measured consumption, which may introduce estimation errors.
• Excludes the industrial sector, limiting completeness for city-wide energy analysis.
• Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unavailable for assessing scale.
