New Sponsored Prize

Hi City of Syracuse Open Data community,

We wanted to let folks know some exciting news.  Wipro is awarding a branded prize at this year’s Civic Data challenge.  Their prize is pertaining to sustainable and net zero housing.  Net zero means that a building releases no net carbon.  Sustainable housing solutions can involve property owners building/updating homes in ways that use water, energy, and building materials more efficiently, which can reduce greenhouse gases and decrease utility bills. 

Some possible information sources are: 

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) - Dashboards

NYSERDA Reports & Studies

New York State – Homes and Community Renewal – Sustainability Guidelines

Questions?

If you have any questions about the hackathon, please post on the discussion forum.

Happy hacking!
