CEA Databases #2489

Closed kerembeygo closed 4 years ago

kerembeygo commented 4 years ago

CEA uses databases for analysis. We are planning a case study and we need to create our own databases. I checked the CEA databases in excel files. Some column headers are understandable some are not. Is there a document which explains the column headers and is there a document about how to create your own database?

I also used UMI (Urban Modeling Interface)'s template library editor. It seemed more easily editable especially for new constructions.

@kerembeygo you can use the glossary search function in the CEA GUI (top right) to search any column headers.

@kerembeygo we will be adding all this information in the days to come. The next version should have a more thorough description of all the values in CEA. closing this issue for now.
