Description
Over 15 years of records detail energy efficiency projects for residential buildings with five or more units across New York State. The dataset tracks project details, funding, and estimated savings for electricity, gas, oil, and propane. It is compiled by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority from its Multifamily Performance Program, with data beginning in 2005.
Use Cases
Analyze correlations between Funding Amount, Number of Units, and Total Estimated Annual Energy Savings to assess program cost-effectiveness.
Model geographic adoption patterns by joining Property County, Building City, and Electric Utility fields with demographic data.
Forecast Project Completed Date timelines based on Program Type, Market Type, and Proposed Install Unit Cost.
Cluster projects by Measure Category and fuel type savings to identify most common retrofit bundles.
Evaluate demand reduction impacts by analyzing Total Estimated Electric Demand Reduction (MW) against Building ZIP and Utility data.
Strengths
Temporal coverage spans from 2005 onward, providing a long-term view of program trends.
Includes multiple estimated savings metrics (electric, annual energy, demand reduction) allowing for multi-faceted analysis.
Data is reported by a state authority (NYSERDA) for regulatory programs, ensuring formal reporting standards.
Limitations
The dataset reports proposed and estimated savings, not verified post-installation performance data, introducing potential accuracy variance.
Geographic scope is limited to New York State, restricting national or comparative analyses.
Row count and sample size are unspecified, making scale assessment difficult.
