This interactive map from Columbia University is making headlines this week, and for good reason. The map shows New York City’s building energy consumption, block by block. Information for each block is provided in terms of total energy use and is also broken down by space heating, space cooling, electricity and hot water.
It goes without saying that it’s a pretty impressive collection of data presented in an easy to use format. And, with a building’s energy use out in the open, tenants can now point to hard data when they raise concerns about energy use in their buildings.
The EIA’s data for solar shipments is in, and the news is good.
