About NYC Energy

About

Everyday New Yorkers are working together to address our energy needs and carbon footprint. As a continuous project, the NYC Energy Green Map features the latest green energy trends and sites in order to help generate sustainability throughout New York’s five boroughs!

This map includes sites gleaned from several different maps, including:

New – New York City received a wake up call with Hurricane Sandy striking on October 29, 2012. We charted the storm surge extent across the five boroughs to bring awareness of climate change and its affects on New York’s shorelines. Data was transferred from FEMA MOTF-Hurricane Sandy Impact Analysis (as of 11/9/12, this map is now offline, but here is the New York City's Sandy Inundation open data map, as of 11/20/18.

- Our 2006 energy-themed Powerful Green Map of NYC (downloadable at Map link on the right),

- Interactive Open Green Maps about LEED Buildings (charted by Brigid Keating) and our citywide views which are linked to Search on the right.

- Our intern, Aaron Miller collected several sites from the NYC Solar Map (nycsolarmap) created by New York City Solar America City Partnership which is led by Sustainable CUNY, and other sources. Find an overview here - be sure to review his research on energy maps made in New York State.

- Of course, PlaNYC 2030, Mayor Bloomberg's plan for a greater, greener New York is an important resource as is the USGBC / Urban Green NYC Green Codes task force report.
