📄 Description
Adds two CC-BY 4.0 licensed open datasets:
Energy section — SolarCalculatorHQ open data: residential PV installation costs per watt across 10 markets (USD/GBP/AUD/CAD/EUR/BRL), optimal tilt angles by latitude (NREL PVWatts-derived), and national tax incentives (US ITC, UK 0% VAT, AU STC + Cheaper Home Batteries, DE KfW 270, FR MaPrimeRénov, etc.). Each row cites a primary public source (NREL, SEIA, EnergySage, Solar Energy UK, Clean Energy Council, Bundesnetzagentur, ADEME, IDAE, GSE, ABSOLAR).
Architecture section — RoofingCalculatorHQ open data: residential roof replacement costs by material (asphalt / metal / tile) per m² across 10 markets, X/12-to-degrees pitch conversion table with slope factors, and SMACNA Architectural Sheet Metal Manual + AS/NZS 3500.3 gutter sizing tables. Cites NRCA, NFRC, Master Builders Australia, CRCA, ZVDH, CAPEB, ANDIMAT, Confartigianato, Eigen Huis, ABRAS.
Distributed as direct CSV downloads with documented columns
Include Schema.org Dataset JSON-LD on landing pages for Google Dataset Search
Updated quarterly with last_updated per row
