Some candidate datasets

[nheeren]

The following datasets contains material intensity data that may be included into the database.

Volunteers are encouraged to extract the data and to create a pull request.

Nice to see some activity here!

Another one, looks very relevant if we haven't got it yet: Looks like a competing/complementary effort to the Heeren and Fishman database?

@mroeck will soon publish a buildings dataset that can be integrated here eventually.

[peterberr]

I also had a publication last year which contains material intensities for many US residential archetypes that could be added.
Should I add in these and then make a pull request?

That would be awesome! In fact that is the whole idea of this repository ;)

Once we reach a new critical mass, we should discuss a follow-up publication, e.g. with more in-depth analysis of the data.

Nice to see some activity here! :-)
As I updated Niko a month or two ago, through my collaboration with IIASA we now have over 800 datapoints and a lot of analysis, which we'll update here soon(ish)

You mentioned that you will be using a new structure. Possibly it would make sense to adopt that already now so data contributions that come now don't need to be revised immediately.

Yes, It would be nice to see the structure before I add some new data

Thanks for noting this already. Looking forward to add our data soon-ish!

Here's the structure with a small data sample in Excel. The new columns are BW-CE, with standard options to choose from.

@peterberr one of my students already entered data from your study, so maybe you'd like to review it first

Thanks for the structure. Sure, nice that the data from my study was already entered! Would be nice to review. Is there a working version of the database or somewhere I can see that? The current data file in this repository hasn't been updated in some years.

Check the dropbox file again, it's there now :-)
