Geospatial datasets of energy consumption drivers in the Ecuador's residential sector

Each variable follows a specific method and uses other available data to end with the calculated datasets. Gridded population dataset primarily uses data from the Center for International Earth Science Information Network, which is calibrated using Ecuadorian official data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC).

Gridded GDP uses data provided by the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE), whereas GDPpc is the relationship between GDP and the previously calculated population counts. The HDI is a combination of data provided by INEC, BCE, Minister of Education and Secretary of Higher Education. The four gridded energy demand datasets for the residential sector are (i) space heating, (ii) space cooling, (iii) water heating, and (iv) total energy demand.
