Air Con Climate Data July 7 2015

This dataset is the hours of operation of the heating and cooling functions of air conditioners across all climate zones in Australia.\r\n\r\nThis dataset can be applied to any air conditioner to give it annual operating hours in cooling and heating modes, referenced against an Australian postcode based on NatHERS Climate Zones.\r\n\r\nThe NatHERS Climate Zones is a conglomerate of postcodes, as detailed in the ‘NatHERS Metadata’ tab and the national map on the ‘NatHERS Info’ tab within the excel spreadsheet.\r\nVisit the Nathers website for an interactive version of the national map.\r\nhttp://apps.nowwhere.com.au/DCCEE/climatezonemaps\r\n\r\nThe heating and cooling hours is the number of running hours for one appliance over a year.\r\n\r\nThis data has the potential be mashed with the appliance rating data from data.gov.au.\r\nThe climate data can be combined with column O and column W in the air-conditioner csv file at www.data.gov.au/dataset/energy-rating-for-household-appliances to give a calculation of the kilowatt hours the appliance will consume over a year. Pricing data could then be applied for an accurate annual running cost dependant on your particular climate zone.本数据集涵盖澳大利亚所有气候分区内空调制热与制冷功能的年运行时长。 本数据集可基于依托NatHERS气候分区（NatHERS Climate Zones）划定的澳大利亚邮政编码，为任意空调设备提供其制冷与制热模式下的年运行时长测算依据。 NatHERS气候分区是邮政编码的集合体，相关细节可参见该Excel电子表格中"NatHERS元数据"工作表与"NatHERS信息"工作表内的全国地图。 可访问NatHERS官网获取全国地图的交互式版本：http://apps.nowwhere.com.au/DCCEE/climatezonemaps 制冷与制热运行时长指单台家电一年的累计运行时长。 该数据集可与澳大利亚政府数据平台data.gov.au上的家电评级数据进行融合关联。 可将本气候数据与data.gov.au上的家用家电能源评级数据集（www.data.gov.au/dataset/energy-rating-for-household-appliances）中的空调CSV文件内的O列与W列相结合，测算出该家电一年的累计耗电量（千瓦时）。随后可结合电价数据，根据具体所属气候分区计算出精准的年度运行成本。
