Datasets to support domestic heating modelling

[SteveHaben]

This thread can be used to share potential datasets which can be used for analysing and/or modelling domestic heating. The most useful datasets will consider the direct load from the heating device (e.g. heat pump, or gas boiler). However, often only the total household demand is available in which case the heating demand must be inferred. Utilising weather data is one way to help support this, as it can be used to identify correlation between temperature changes and household demand changes. A list of weather data sources can be found in this thread.

Some specific heating/household data sets are described in the table below:

Name	Owner	Description	License	Link
Electrification of heat Demonstration Project	Energy Systems Catapult	Anonymised 2 minute data for ~740 heat pumps.	UK Data Service End User License	Code for clearing data is available here with links to the raw data, and lightly cleaned data
Living Lab V1	Energy Systems Catapult	The data includes property, energy and internal air conditions (temperature) for around 100 households for trials over various winters. This includes measurements of temperature/humidity in each room, boiler output, and household gas/electricity usage. Eden 5 contains data for 5 heat pumps.	Bespoke license, found here.	The data is in various is within individual tranches (called Edens) for various Winters, found here.
SMETER	Crown Copyright, BEIS	Data from 30 homes, including energy use (Gas/Electric), temperature and humidity in different rooms, dwelling information etc.	Open	The data can be found here

Data Catalogues which contain many different energy data sources (including household level demand) can be found in this thread. In particular, this curated list of low voltage level load data sets (focusing on data which could be used for load forecasting research) contains many datasets which also have heat pump/heating data.
