Abstract:
What can Energy Performance data tell us about the buildings around us? Through analysis and reporting such as LL84 Energy Score cards, we can improve our understanding of how more sustainable design improves energy performance. This demonstration uses New York City Public Open Datasets documenting Building Energy Efficiency Ratings, which can be seen posted at the entrances to large buildings throughout the city.
We will explore the aggregated data sets provided through NYC Open Data to create Building Performance averages by type, borough, and square footage. Through a series of case studies and demonstrations we will learn the factors that drive these energy grades, such as types of heating and cooling systems, evidence of renovation, building square footage and relevant fiscal penalties. Attendees will be guided through accessing relevant city data, simplified pivot tables and visualization tools to help them investigate performance of the buildings in their chosen local.
