MAISY State/Territory Databases contain building structure, operating characteristics, equipment information and other energy-related variables including detailed electricity, natural gas and oil consumption data along with traditional firmographic information for commercial customer records throughout Australia. Databases provide hourly load information for each customer record at two levels of detail: (1) 24 hourly loads for each of 3 day-types (peak day, average week day and weekend) in each of 12 months for electricity, gas and oil, and (2) all 8760 electric hourly loads with end-use and whole-building detail for the entire year. MAISY State/Territory Databases have been developed by selecting individual customer records from US utility customers databases and adjusting 8760 electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and LPG use to reflect detailed hourly weather data for appropriate Australian locations. Customer records are selected to reflect Australian building populations and record weights are computed to provide estimates of the total number of customers within State/Territories. Customer data are also available for individual Metropolitan Areas, cities and other locations within each State/Territory. Other MAISY products and services developed for the US market are also now available for Australian markets. Summary of MAISY Australian State/Territory Database Products and ServicesWhile MAISY Australian State/Territory Database Systems reflect energy use and other characteristics of commercial customers across Australia, database variables, support software and application areas are identical to those of the US state databases. Consequently, a summary of Australian State/Territory Database System components is described below with relevant additional information provided in the links to descriptions of the corresponding US System components. MAISY Australian State/Territory Databases are composed of a scientifically developed sample of customers representing all utility commercial sector customers within each State/Territory. Providing information on a large number of customer characteristics (List of Commercial Database Variables) for a representative sample of customers provides detailed information on individual customers and customer segments along with information on the entire population of customer customers. For instance, energy use and operating characteristics of a typical fast-food restaurant in Brisbane can be determined along with the total number and total energy use of all fast food restaurants, the size of this market segment compared to all restaurants and to all commercial buildings and the distributions of fast-food restaurants in Brisbane with respect to kWh, kW, and other customer characteristics.
Standard MAISY Database software provides access to all
Energy Marketing Database information with a patented data exploration process
which answers specific marketing questions with mouse-clicks on charts .
Users can navigate through the state-level energy marketing and hourly load
databases, exploring customer characteristics and relationships. Information
can be viewed in chart or table form at any level of aggregation ranging
from an individual customer to all customers in a state or states. MAISY
provides detailed reports and exports data to other software systems. The
software runs from desktop or network systems. A sample screen is shown below.
Australian State/Territory Hourly Loads Databases provide hourly load information for each customer record in the Energy Marketing Databases at two levels of detail: (1) 24 hourly loads for each of 3 day-types (peak day, average week day and weekend) in each of 12 months for electricity, gas and oil, and (2) all 8760 electric hourly loads by end use for the entire year. 8760 Hourly Load Databases provide hourly load data for each hour of the year for each record in the databases. Hourly load data can also be accessed and evaluated with either the standard MAISY database access software or the Database Profiler software. Standard MAISY database access software presents hourly load charts as part of user navigation of the Energy Marketing databases. Users apply mouse-clicks on charts displaying customer characteristics to drill down to the market segment or customer type of interest; hourly load charts reflect hourly loads associated with user-selected customers. The following MAISY chart shows July weekday hourly loads for offices in the 50-100k square feet category.
Standard MAISY software also provides Excel worksheet access to hourly load data as illustrated below
Excel's Chart Wizard can be used to visually evaluate individual customer load profiles. Here, January kW week-day loads are shown for 10 customers.
