Download selected IDEAL dataset components — elcf4r_download

Download selected assets from the IDEAL Household Energy Dataset record on Edinburgh DataShare. The helper is docs-first: it always retrieves the licence/readme files and documentation.zip, while heavy raw-data archives must be requested explicitly through components.

Usage

elcf4r_download_ideal(
  dest_dir,
  components = "documentation",
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

dest_dir: Directory where the downloaded files should be stored.
components: Character vector of IDEAL components to fetch. Supported values are "documentation", "metadata_and_surveys", "coding", "auxiliary", "household_sensors" and "room_and_appliance_sensors".
overwrite: Logical; if TRUE, existing local files are replaced.

Value

A character vector with the downloaded local file paths.
