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 verify survey responses and detail property characteristics and energy equipment. Inspections covered heating, cooling, appliances, lighting, and observable operating behaviors.
Use Cases
- Correlate property characteristics with specific heating and cooling equipment types to identify common building archetypes.
- Analyze the distribution of water heating equipment and appliances across the inspected housing stock.
- Model baseline energy use by combining data on lighting, clothes washing, and miscellaneous energy-using equipment.
- Validate self-reported survey data on observable operating behavior collected during on-site visits.
Strengths
- Data from 700 physical inspections provides ground-truth verification.
- Covers a broad range of energy uses including equipment and observable behavior.
Limitations
- Sample size of 700 buildings may not be representative of the entire New York State housing stock.
- Data is from 2011-2014 and may not reflect current building conditions or equipment efficiency.
