Irish Building Energy Ratings (BER)
Every BER cert ever issued in Ireland. About 1.4 million homes, 211 fields per cert: A-G rating, kWh/m²/yr, what fuel they burn, wall U-values, floor area, the lot.
Why this dataset exists
SEAI hides this data behind an ASP.NET form button on their BER Research Tool. Click "Download All Data" and you get a 250MB zipped tab-separated file. No API, no static URL you can curl. Annoying. So I scraped it and flattened it into a clean… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/FionnHughes/irish-building-energy-ratings.complete-buildings-extraction-coco-hfpc-building-egocentricDS_Building_SecurityManual_V2building_defect_vqa
Building Defect VQA Dataset
Dataset Description
This dataset is a Visual Question Answering (VQA) version of the original BD3 (Building Defect Dataset).
It is designed for training and evaluating Vision–Language Models (VLMs) on building defect recognition tasks.
Each image is paired with a fixed question and a defect category as the answer.
Dataset Structure
Each sample contains:
image: RGB image of a building surface
question:
"What type of building… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/chandrabhuma/building_defect_vqa.us-building-permits-16-cities
Dataset Card: US Building Permits — 16 Cities
43,119 building/construction permits issued across 16 US cities over the 30 days ending

Building Extraction Dataset
This dataset is a processed verison of the dataset of the Kaggle competition: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/building-extraction-generalization-2024/.
The original train and validation images and COCO annotations were resized to (512, 512).
Then from the segmentations on the COCO annotations, a PIL_annotation file was created for each sample in which the Red channel corresponds to the semantic segmentation mask and the Green channel to the instance… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/tomascanivari/buildings-extraction-coco-hf.buildingsbuilding-permits-browser-datagoogle-my-buildingfootprintbuildingsDataset for buildings / city_landscapes classification, it has 53 labels:
