TL;DR: Brick is described, a uniform schema for representing metadata in buildings that defines a concrete ontology for sensors, subsystems and relationships among them, which enables portable applications.

TL;DR: This paper discusses event detection algorithms used in the NILM literature and proposes new metrics that incorporate information contained in the power signal instead of strict detection rates, and shows that this information is important for NilM applications with the goal of improving appliance energy disaggregation.

TL;DR: Recommendations for improving the technology to allow detailed, continuous appliance-level auditing of residential buildings are provided, along with ideas for possible future work in the field.

TL;DR: The Plug-Level Appliance Identification Dataset (PLAID), a public and crowd-sourced dataset for load identification research consisting of short voltage and current measurements for different residential appliances, is introduced.

TL;DR: Brick is described, a uniform metadata schema for representing buildings that defines a concrete ontology for sensors, subsystems and the relationships between them, which enables portable applications and demonstrates the completeness and effectiveness of Brick.
