Own datasets
Current weather measurements
Data is available from a weather station located on the roof of the FCLAB building at UTBM in Belfort. The weather station is a Davis Vantage Pro2, equipped with an Ethernet connection and a server running weewx that logs all measurements. Click here to access the real-time data.
Historical weather data
Historical data from the FCLAB weather station is available below. As logging is unreliable (e.g., due to network issues), some data is missing. Wind speed data should also not be considered due to the unsuitable location of the sensor.

Datacenter data
Data was collected from UTBM’s datacenter in Belfort, thanks to the DSI service of UTBM.
| Location and link | Sampling period | Duration | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| IT and total load (with cooling) for the entire datacenter room | 1 min. | 2015 to 2016 | .csv |
