ESDL allows you to describe a list of sectors that can be used inside your model. In the model you can make a reference to a specific sector in the list from every asset, service, or party. Tools can then calculate total energy consumption per sector, or total investment costs per sector.
The Sectors class is a collection of the class Sector. The Sector class can have the following parameters:
an id paramater that is used for referring to sectors.
a name parameter to describe the name of the sector.
a description parameter to give a description of the sector.
a code parameter to describe the code of the sector.
a dataSource parameter to document the origin of the information you're using
An example ESDL file with this information looks like:
