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).
