Sample Data
  • You can download a zip file called seed-sample-data.zip, containing two sample data files, one representing a tax assessor building list, and the other representing Energy Star Portfolio Manager data for that same set of buildings. This is clearly the "ideal" case, but it is a good set of test data to make sure that the program is performing properly. The data files in the zip file are:
        • covered-buildings-sample.csv sample tax assessor data with 512 building records
        • portfolio-manager-sample.csv sample Energy Star Portfolio Manager data with 512 records which match the data in covered-buildings-sample.csv based on the Address field
