The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) oversees more than 250 state parks, historic sites, recreational trails, golf courses, boat launches and more, encompassing nearly 350,000 acres, that are visited by 74 million people annually. These facilities contribute to the economic vitality and quality of life of local communities and directly support New York’s tourism industry. Parks also provide a place for families and children to be active and exercise, promoting healthy lifestyles. The agency is responsible for the operation and stewardship of the state park system as well as advancing a statewide parks, historic preservation, and open space mission. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation operates several nature centers throughout the state. Visitors to our nature centers learn about the abundance of natural resources to be found in state parks. Our state parks and historic sites are hosts to scenic viewsheds, geologic features and both common and rare flora and fauna.

Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future. As renewable power sources like wind and solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, storage will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed. The 2019 Climate Act set a statewide goal of 3,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030, further increased to 6,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030 by Governor Kathy Hochul.

This dataset tracks progress towards these statewide goals by compiling data on installed energy storage projects. Projects that received funding support from NYSERDA, as well as unincentivized projects, are included in this dataset

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help develop energy storage projects. Please see https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Energy-Storage-Program.

This dataset contains information about trees that have been planted in New York City by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey from 2008 to 2012. Trees are planted by the Port Authority or contactors on Port Authority Property. Tree data includes the tree species, size, location and quantity.

The Residential Building Stock Assessment (RBSA) published in 2019 is the first update to the 2015 Residential Statewide Baseline Study (RSBS) of New York State. This New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA)-led assessment is a research study designed to inform future New York State energy planning efforts. The overall objective of this study is to understand the current residential building stock, new and existing residential single-family homes, and associated energy use, including saturation of energy consuming equipment by fuel, penetration of energy-efficient equipment, and information on building characteristics and energy management practices. Study results will inform future energy planning, and identify and design potential energy efficiency programs to help homeowners and occupants across the State increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The study was completed using 456 on-site inspections and 2,419 online and telephone surveys. This dataset represents only the data collected from surveys conducted from September 28, 2018 to December 3, 2018. The on-site inspections are a subset from the online and telephone survey respondents. On-site inspections were conducted between October 10, 2018 and December 15, 2018.

For the data collected from on-site inspections, see the RBSA 2018 on-site dataset at https://data.ny.gov/d/3drn-bhzv.

The overall objective of the Statewide Commercial Baseline research was to understand the existing commercial building stock in New York State and associated energy use, including the characteristics of energy using equipment. This dataset provides all equipment and business characteristics that can be presented as a distribution, such as the percent of split systems that are under 5 tons of cooling capacity and the percent of split systems that are 5 tons and over, or the percent of boilers that are condensing. All supporting summary statistics are also provided. For more information, see the Final Report at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/About/Publications/Building-Stock-and-Potential-Studies/Commercial-Statewide-Baseline-Study

This dataset includes all Statewide Commercial Baseline Study summary statistics related to the estimation of population penetration and saturation estimates. These include summaries of the number of survey respondents asked each equation, the number of survey respondents who provided a valid answer, the unweighted penetration, weighted penetration, and adjusted and weighted penetration. All supporting summary statistics are also provided. Penetration refers to the proportion of businesses that have one or more of a particular piece of equipment. Saturation is a number representing how many of a particular piece of equipment are present, on average, among all businesses. The overall objective of the Statewide Commercial Baseline research was to understand the existing commercial building stock in New York State and associated energy use, including the penetration and saturation of energy consuming equipment (electric, natural gas, and other fuels).
