67 on-site inspections of multifamily buildings in New York State were conducted from 2011 to 2014. The data, collected by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), covers property characteristics, heating/cooling equipment, appliances, lighting, and observable operating behavior. This dataset aimed to verify self-reported survey data and enhance a statewide residential baseline study.
Use Cases
- Modeling energy consumption in multifamily buildings using property characteristics and equipment data.
- Analyzing the prevalence of specific appliance types or heating/cooling systems across inspected buildings.
- Comparing observable operating behavior data with self-reported survey responses for validation studies.
- Identifying common space versus tenant-unit equipment efficiency opportunities from the segmented inspection data.
Strengths
- Data from 67 detailed on-site inspections provides ground-truth verification.
- Covers a broad range of energy uses including equipment, lighting, and operating behavior.
- Inspection period from 2011 to 2014 aligns with a major statewide baseline study.
Limitations
- The sample size of 67 buildings may not be representative of the entire New York State multifamily stock.
- Data is temporally stale, reflecting building conditions from over a decade ago.
- Unknown row count and specific column details limit assessment of feature granularity.
