This page features the data dictionary for the Heat Pump and Heat Pump Water Heater Field Validation Database. These definitions provides information about how the database is structured. Details are provided for what measurements are collected and the units. Additionally, a template can be downloaded here that can be used for data collection and can be directly uploaded to the database.
