Multifamily Residential Existing and New Construction Energy Efficiency Projects Reported By NYSERDA: Beginning 2005

The Multifamily Performance Program (MPP) serves residential buildings with five or more units. Funds are targeted at energy efficiency measures that help to reduce on-site electricity, oil,  natural gas, steam, and propane energy demand and energy consumption in multi-unit residential buildings. All buildings receive program support for energy assessments to identify and determine cost-effective measures, expected energy savings, and installation costs. Our dataset is then compiled from the information. The dataset includes information collected throughout the project application process and energy assessments from several NYSERDA-funded programs, including Multifamily Performance Program-Existing Buildings, Multifamily Performance Program-New Construction, and Multifamily Performance Program-Energy Star Pilot.
The Multifamily Residential Existing and New Construction Energy Efficiency Projects Reported by NYSERDA: Beginning 2005 dataset includes the following data points for completed projects: Project Name, Program Type, Building Address1, Building City, Building ZIP, Property County, Electric Utility, Gas Utility, Market Type, Number of Buildings, Number of Units, Application NYSERDA Approved Date, Project Completed Date, Funding Amount, Proposed Install Unit Cost, Total Estimated Electric Savings, Total Estimated Annual Energy Savings, and Total Estimated Electric Demand Reduction (MW). Information about the Projects’ measures, measure category, and estimated energy savings by fuel type can be found in the Multifamily Residential Existing and New Construction Energy Efficiency Measures Reported by NYSERDA: Beginning 2005 dataset.
Reported savings account for interactive effects between measures.

Broadband Availability By Municipality

New York State has just completed a broadband mapping program as part of the national broadband mapping program funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the US Department of Commerce. Information about the availability of high-speed Internet services, commonly called Broadband, was collected from broadband provider companies regarding the technology type and speed of services offered. The data was updated every six months for five years, and is shown on the NYS Broadband Map at www.broadbandmap.ny.gov as well as the National Broadband Map at www.broadbandmap.gov. The data on the map depicts broadband availability at the Census Block level. This table summarizes the information for each municipality (town, city, village, Indian Reservation) in New York State.
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Annual Data: Beginning 2000

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program (also known as ES-202) collects employment and wage data from employers covered by New York State's Unemployment Insurance (UI) Law. This program is a cooperative program with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. QCEW data encompass approximately 97 percent of New York's nonfarm employment, providing a virtual census of employees and their wages as well as the most complete universe of employment and wage data, by industry, at the State, regional and county levels. "Covered" employment refers broadly to both private-sector employees as well as state, county, and municipal government employees insured under the New York State Unemployment Insurance (UI) Act. Federal employees are insured under separate laws, but are considered covered for the purposes of the program. Employee categories not covered by UI include some agricultural workers, railroad workers, private household workers, student workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers. QCEW data are similar to monthly Current Employment Statistics (CES) data in that they reflect jobs by place of work; therefore, if a person holds two jobs, he or she is counted twice. However, since the QCEW program, by definition, only measures employment covered by unemployment insurance laws, its totals will not be the same as CES employment totals due to the employee categories excluded by UI.
NYSERDA-Supported Ground Source Heat Pump Projects: 2017-2019

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought to accelerate the adoption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems from 2017 through 2019 because thermal energy used in the residential and commercial sectors for space heating and cooling and hot water accounts for 37% of net energy consumption and 32% of all combustion-based greenhouse gas emissions in New York State. In 2017, clean heating and cooling (CH&C) technologies, in general, and GSHP systems in particular, occupy a niche position in New York State, penetrating less than 1% of the heating and cooling market. The now closed GSHP Rebate Program (the “Program”), that provided incentives for the installation of GSHP systems, was allocated this funding by the New York Public Service Commission through the Clean Energy Fund. Projects comprising small-scale GSHP systems (≤ 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,500 per cooling ton; and  Projects comprising large-scale GSHP systems (> 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,200 per cooling ton, subject to certain incentive caps. 

The NYSERDA-supported Ground Source Heat Pump Projects: 2017-2019 dataset contains characteristics about each GSHP project that participated in the NYSERDA GSHP Rebate Program. All GSHP projects must have an Application Submitted Date prior to 1/1/2020 to be considered NYSERDA-supported. Information about the NYS Clean Heat Program can be found at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Programs/NYS-Clean-Heat.
