Some candidate datasets

[nheeren]

The following datasets contains material intensity data that may be included into the database.

Volunteers are encouraged to extract the data and to create a pull request.

Nice to see some activity here!

Another one, looks very relevant if we haven't got it yet: Looks like a competing/complementary effort to the Heeren and Fishman database?

@mroeck will soon publish a buildings dataset that can be integrated here eventually.

[peterberr]

I also had a publication last year which contains material intensities for many US residential archetypes that could be added.
Should I add in these and then make a pull request?

That would be awesome! In fact that is the whole idea of this repository ;)

Once we reach a new critical mass, we should discuss a follow-up publication, e.g. with more in-depth analysis of the data.
