New York State Government Building Energy Use Intensity Data: Beginning State Fiscal Year 2010

data.ny.gov | Last Updated 30 Dec 2019

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.

Gross Floor Areagross_floor_areanumberThe gross square footage-the sum of all areas on all floors of a building included within the outside faces of its exterior walls, including all vertical penetration areas for circulation and shaft areas that connect one floor to another.
Source kBtusource_kbtunumberThe total kBtu site is converted to Source Energy which takes into account the fuels consumed in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, as well as the energy losses from storage, distribution, and delivery of each unit fuel.
Source EUIsource_euinumberThe Source kBtu divided by the gross square footage generates the Energy Use Intensity-which is the standard performance metric used to measure Executive Order 88 goals.
