IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER BEFORE USING DATA. The Residential Existing Homes Program is a market transformation program that uses Building Performance Institute (BPI) Goldstar contractors to install comprehensive energy-efficient improvements.  The program is designed to use building science and a whole-house approach to reduce energy use in the State’s existing one-to-four family and low-rise multifamily residential buildings and capture heating fuel and electricity-related savings.  The Program provides income-based incentives, including an assisted subsidy for households with income up to 80% of the State or Median County Income, whichever is higher to install eligible energy efficiency improvements including building shell measures, high efficiency heating and cooling measures, ENERGY STAR appliances and lighting.
 
D I S C L A I M E R: Estimated Annual kWh Savings, Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings, and First Year Energy Savings $ Estimate represent contractor reported savings derived from energy modeling software calculations and not actual realized energy savings. The accuracy of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings for projects has been evaluated by an independent third party. The results of the impact analysis indicate that, on average, actual savings amount to 35 percent of the Estimated Annual kWh Savings and 65 percent of the Estimated Annual MMBtu Savings. The analysis did not evaluate every single project, but rather a sample of projects from 2007 and 2008, so the results are applicable to the population on average but not necessarily to any individual project which could have over or under achieved in comparison to the evaluated savings. The results from the impact analysis will be updated when more recent information is available. Many factors influence the degree to which estimated savings are realized, including proper calibration of the savings model and the savings algorithms used in the modeling software. Some reasons individual households may realize savings different from those projected include, but are not limited to, changes in the number or needs of household members, changes in occupancy schedules, changes in energy usage behaviors, changes to appliances and electronics installed in the home, and beginning or ending a home business. Beginning November 2017, the Program requires the use of HPXML-compliant modeling software tools and data quality protocols have been implemented to more accurately project savings.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought to accelerate the adoption of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) by working to develop supply chains and expand service networks to make them available in the market and supported by key actors, such as ASHP installation contractors. When initially launched, NYSERDA’s now closed ASHP Program provided incentives to solely Participating Installers for the installation of Program Qualified ASHP systems. NYSERDA’s Air-Source Heat Pump Program provided nearly $14,950,000 in incentives to Participating Installers for the installation of Program Qualified Air Source Heat Pump systems. The New York State Public Service Commission allocated funding for this program through the Clean Energy Fund (CEF) to expand the ASHP market in New York and to support installations for customers who pay (or will pay in the case of new construction) the System Benefit Charge (SBC)/CEF surcharge on their electricity bills. Incentives were available per installed Program Qualified ASHP system to Participating Installers on a first-come, first-served basis. Incentives included those that may have been retained by the Participating Installer as well as additional incentives that were paid to the Participating Installer but credited to site owners.

The NYSERDA-Supported Air Source Heat Pump Projects: 2017-2019 dataset contains characteristics about each ASHP project that participated in a NYSERDA ASHP program.

The Build Smart NY Program aims to increase energy efficiency of New York State government buildings. Build Smart NY was established by Executive Order 88 and mandates a reduction in energy consumption by 20% in government owned and operated buildings by 2020. Site utility data has been collected for all government buildings larger than 20,000 square feet and this has been converted to Source Energy Use Intensity (EUI) which is a ratio of Source Energy Use to gross square footage. The Source EUI will be used as a performance metric to achieve the 20% reduction targets. The dataset represents a baseline of Source EUI for New York State government buildings at the baseline year of SFI 2010/2011; subsequent reports will demonstrate a progression to achieving a 20% energy reduction target.

New York Energy Prices presents retail energy price data. Energy prices are provided by fuel type in nominal dollars per million Btu for the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. This section includes a column in the price table displaying gross domestic product (GDP) price deflators for converting nominal (current year) dollars to constant (real) dollars. To convert nominal to constant dollars, divide the nominal energy price by the GDP price deflator for that particular year. Historical petroleum, electricity, coal, and natural gas prices were compiled primarily from the Energy Information Administration.
