700 on-site inspections of single-family buildings in New York State were conducted from 2011 to 2014. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) collected this data to enhance a statewide residential baseline study. Information covers property characteristics, heating and cooling equipment, appliances, and observable operating behavior.
Use Cases
- Modeling residential energy consumption based on property characteristics and appliance inventories.
- Analyzing correlations between heating/cooling equipment types and building attributes.
- Identifying patterns in observable operating behavior related to lighting and clothes washing/drying.
- Verifying self-reported survey data on water heating equipment and miscellaneous energy-using devices.
Strengths
- 700 inspection records provide a substantive sample for analysis.
- Data covers a broad range of energy uses including property characteristics, equipment, appliances, and behavior.
Limitations
- The dataset is temporally stale, with inspections ending in 2014.
- Geographic scope is limited to New York State, limiting national generalizability.
- Sample size of 700 may be insufficient for granular sub-population analysis.
