Data Currency? #62

Just curious if you see your project doing a refresh of this data. This is a few years old now and where some folks would have a interest in running this on a regular/annual basis the horsepower isn't cheap.

We will release a refresh in few months which will update around 50% of buildings in US using 2019/2020 imagery. The bottleneck for regular and more frequent updates is actually the access to fresh imagery, not storage and compute.

Also, it would be helpful to know what time frame the published building footprints correspond to. Is this a single year? Multiple years? Which years?
