New York State Ground Source Heat Pump Rebate Projects 2017-2019

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) records detail ground source heat pump projects supported by a rebate program from 2017 through 2019. The dataset contains project characteristics, costs, incentives, and system specifications for installations that applied before January 1, 2020. It was published by data.ny.gov and last updated in August 2024.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between Total Project Cost (USD) and Total NYSERDA Incentive (USD) to evaluate program subsidy effectiveness.
• Model Heating Load (Btu/hr) based on Home Conditioned Area Sqft and Primary Heating Fuel Type for system sizing estimates.
• Map project density and incentive distribution by County and ZIP Code to identify regional adoption patterns.
• Compare system performance and Prior Year Annual Fuel Use (MMBtu) between Loop Field Type categories like vertical and horizontal loops.
• Assess project completion rates by analyzing the timeline between Application Submitted and Completed Date for different Program Types.

Strengths

• Contains 22 specific columns detailing project financials, technical specs, and location.
• Data covers a defined 3-year program period (2017-2019) with a clear cutoff for application dates.
• Includes concrete incentive structures, specifying $1,500 per ton for small systems and $1,200 per ton for large systems.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count prevents assessment of dataset scale and statistical significance.
• Temporal coverage may be stale for analyzing current market conditions, as the program is closed and applications ended in 2019.
• Potential geographic bias, as data is exclusively from New York State and may not represent other regions.
