Building Energy Benchmarking Dataset

⚠️ Synthetic Data Disclaimer: This dataset contains synthetically generated data for demonstration and testing purposes. It does not represent real buildings or actual energy performance data.

Overview

Portfolio-level building energy benchmarking data with energy intensity metrics, CO2 emissions, and sustainability ratings. Useful for comparing building performance across different types and locations.
