NYSERDA is excited to present an additional category for the 2020 PropTech Challenge in partnership with Connected Real Estate Magazine and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY).  This year’s Tenant Energy Data category is a data science competition accepting applications until Friday, February 12, 2021 at 11:59PM ET.

The Tenant Energy Data category is designed to improve understanding of the drivers of electricity consumption within sub-metered office space in NYC. The purpose of this effort is to identify new modeling assumptions that account for COVID-19’s impact on occupancy levels.  This category provides real world consumption data from a single large office tenant in Midtown Manhattan along with some building-wide data.

Participants will respond to problem statements by uploading output from predictive models and linking to publicly available submission overview videos.  The PropTech Challenge team and a panel of industry experts will evaluate submissions.  Winning submissions will be promoted by NYSERDA, REBNY, and Connected Real Estate Magazine to facilitate participants’ access to the world’s leading energy consumers.
