We need trusted foundational knowledge
that informs our energy decisions
Energy Choices
Virtuous energy cycle
Informed decisions build confidence and momentum
Poor decisions undermine trust and action

Clean Energy Commons
Accessible and trusted information that
informs our energy decisions
1. Improved access to energy information
2. Community supported contributions
3. Easy, legal and scalable sharing
4. Actionable quality assessments

Virtual Aggregation
Improved access to energy information
• Focus on the meta-data• Link to established data-
sets• Link to real-time data
feeds• Enable community
aggregation• Link to modeled data
services• Archive historical data

Distributed Work
Community support for contributions & collaboration
• Distribute work to the most able
• Shared standards for integration
• Open the system for value add
• Higher value through higher use
• Higher quality through many eyes
Publish Content
Easy, legal and scalable sharing Source: Wilbanks 2010
PUBLISH ENERGY DATA • Reconstruction of the public domain• Fallback to CC BY 3.0 • Leverage embargo periods
PUBLISH ENERGY TOOLS & MODELS• Choose a specific OSI approved license• Mandating BSD – most consumable by business, most interoperable
PUBLISH ENERGY KNOWLEDGE • CC BY or BY-SA 3.0 easiest to use• Think carefully before adding non commercial clause
Quality Assessment
Actionable quality assessments & systematic improvement
Available – EfficientProvidence – Reputation
Reliable – Objective - Accurate
Verifiable – ReproducibleUseful – Timely
Systematic improvement
