Sites
Overview
A site entity models a single facility using the site
tag. A good rule of thumb is to model any building with its own street address as its own site. For example, a campus should be modeled with each building as a site, versus treating the entire campus as one site. But not all sites are buildings; a site could be a street light, cell phone tower, etc.
Tags
Core tags used with sites:
geoAddr
: the geographic free-form address of the site (which might include other geolocation tags such asgeoCity
orgeoCoord
)tz
: the timezone where the site is locatedarea
: square footage or square meters of the facility. This enables site normalization by area.weatherStationRef
: associate the site with a weather station to visualize weather conditions and perform weather based energy normalizationyearBuilt
: four digit year in which the building was constructed
Example
Here is an example of a site entity fully tricked out with geolocation tags:
id: @whitehouse dis: "White House" site area: 55000ft² tz: "New_York" weatherStationRef: @weather.washington geoAddr: "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC" geoStreet: "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW" geoCity: "Washington D.C." geoCountry: "US" geoPostalCode: "20500" geoCoord: C(38.898, -77.037) yearBuilt: 1792
