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).
