Deep Design Data Portal (D3P) v0.01

Abstract

The Deep Design Data Portal (D3P) tool was developed to demonstrate how readily accessible data sources, such as building energy model reports for design and baseline energy performance data for projects, can provide the data required for reporting to an industry initiative (AIA 2030 commitment), as well as more detailed data that makes the industry dataset more valuable to all stakeholders, enabling project level analysis and analysis of BEM industry trends. D3P provides an easier and less time-consuming way for firms to auto-extract data from this data source, compared to the current reporting workflows of the firms. The BEM reports are the first of several data sources that D3P could integrate. D3P also provides the ability for firms to review, compare, and evaluate the performance of their projects to not only their portfolio, but also to the larger anonymized industry dataset created each time a project is added to D3P. The intent of D3P is to become part of a data-sharing ecosystem to assist creating large anonymized industry datasets that are accessible to industry.
