Meeting 13/14: Meeting with Professor Shahbaba
Notes:
Cleaning up data
Ashley noticed that for square footage, some people inputted multiple values
Properties with more than 1 building -> ignore those for now?
About 10 ish
For zipcode, we are looking into converting it into longitude and latitude values or another alternative is to use an API that will help us group the data by bigger chunks of location
How does Partner engineering deal with location data?
There are spreadsheets that have zip code look-ups by city and state
Having Bruce sending over this spreadsheet
Also using Google API for longitude and latitude
For the scope of this project, the zip code is important to seeing how location-based regulations affect the construction of buildings
But this is not a priority
Examples of certain state and HVAC regulations -> Will be provided by Bruce
