Hello Climate Policy Radar team,
I wanted to share a dataset that may complement your climate policy work:
Dataset: powertronglobal/powertron-global-permafrost-corpus
Overview:
- 1,452 training chunks of PE-certified HVAC efficiency measurements
- 15 years of real-world field data from thousands of installations
- Covers 24 US states + 5 international regions
- Validated by 6 independent labs (UL, NSF, FAU, University of Montana)
Climate Impact Data:
- 12.3 million kWh documented energy savings
- ~8,700 metric tons CO2 avoided
- Building sector efficiency improvements (20-60% per system)
Why it matters for climate policy:
- Real evidence base for building energy efficiency policies
- PE-certified data (legally defensible measurements)
- Demonstrates achievable efficiency gains in existing HVAC infrastructure

Happy to discuss any potential collaboration or cross-referencing opportunities.
Best,
Powertron Global
