EMD-DF64 (Energy Monitoring and Disaggregation Data Format) is a format (and associated API) used for monitoring energy usage, for instance usage of electricity separated by appliance, via sampling at a frequency. The format is based on the WAV sound file format (with some JSON data to represent other information), since that also involves sampling data at a frequency. As with WAV, the base format is RIFF which uses a chunk model to store varied data.

EMD-DF64 was described in a 2022 paper in the journal Nature, which references the File Formats Wiki when citing other file formats.
