Understand the importance of field prioritization in BEDES development, including factors like importance, ease of collection, and accuracy. Explore the relevance of independent vs. derived values and the need for clear guidelines to address derived fields. Discuss potential pros and cons, guidelines, and criteria for prioritizing fields, considering various use cases.Prepare for the next phase by considering a grouping structure to enhance the prioritization process.

BEDES-Guidelines for Prioritization of FieldsJanuary 22nd 2014
Discussion from TWG#1 • The TWG members stressed the importance of trying to be as comprehensive as possible. • Some members also expressed support for prioritizing fields and that prioritization can be applied at the end of BEDES development. • Discussed the relevance of Importance, Ease of Collection, Accuracy, Independent vs. Derived as some of the factors to consider to prioritize fields. • The importance of the field should be the primary factor and other factors should be secondary. • Some TWG members felt derived values are very important (for example R-value can be derived from insulation type and thickness). • Question: For derived fields, how do we address calculation methodology and define the constants (GHG factors – lbs/CO2 per therm of NG)?
Need for Prioritization guidelines? • Should BEDES have priority fields or not? • What are the Pro and Cons? • Is it possible to design a prioritization scheme and still be compliant with the "all inclusive" consensus that we agreed to in TWG#1? • How do we reconcile the prioritizations between different use cases? • What are some pitfalls with respect to structural bias due to determining priorities?
Prioritization guidelines • If priority fields are needed, what should the criteria be to prioritize the fields? • Importance for Use Cases • Fields directly related to energy • Independent/Derived • How could having a Grouping Structure help address prioritization aspects, if at all? • The next topic will explore how a grouping structure might work
