Therefore, we developed a model to predict whether individual buildings are steam heated or not.ĭownload the full brief for a closer look at steam heat in NYC’s small and medium multifamily buildings. Identifying steam systems in these buildings could reveal important trends and enable the city and contractors to better identify buildings for improvements. Unlike larger buildings (over 50,000 square feet), these properties are not required to conduct energy audits, which means we don’t know much about them. Small and medium properties make up over one-third of NYC’s multifamily square footage. But we have little information about these 53,000 properties, many of which will need to comply with Local Law 97. no person may use the words or terms steam engineer, licensed steam engineer, steam operating engineer. We can’t achieve our long-term carbon emissions goal without retroftting or replacing most steam systems in NYC-including those in multifamily buildings smaller than 50,000 square feet. Council of the District of Columbia logo. Each to their own I suppose.Our predictive model sheds light on steam use in smaller multifamily buildings and where to focus on upgrades in the city.įorty percent of NYC’s carbon emissions come from burning fossil fuels within buildings. Plus, I would much rather support the devs as directly as possible. As it is, they just have few craft files shared, but there are other sources including this forum and kerbalx if using other people's designs is your thing. If steam had a proper workshop set up for game mods with version and conflict checking then I would have no problem recommending it. I personally have used steam for some games where there is a definite benefit, but with regard to KSP there are no advantages and many disadvantages it would seem. It's not only auto updates, there are many cases where "file re-verification" was required due to corruption even after many days / weeks of play. It's no harder really than manually installing from the store.ĭon't disagree, but over the last couple of years I have seen literally hundreds of posts from obvious newbies suffering massive frustration after installing via steam. There are 2 very easy ways to keep from auto updating KSP in Steam, setting the specific version in the Steam "Betas" tab and copying your install out of the Steam folder and playing it from the copy.
