NYC Cooling Tower Registrations

This dataset contains cooling tower systems currently registered in the NYC Cooling Tower Registration Portal and <i>Legionella</i> water test dates as reported by a building's qualified person. Decommissioned cooling tower systems are excluded from the dataset.

Cooling tower registration in NYC was mandated by Section 17-194.1 of the NYC Administrative Code on August 18, 2015, and operation and maintenance of cooling towers in NYC are ruled by Chapter 8 of Title 24 of the Rules of the City of New York (Chapter 8).

The cooling tower system’s qualified person, as defined in Chapter 8, must report Legionella water test dates to the NYC Health Department as required by amendments to the NYC Administrative Code Section 17-194.1(f) on April 28, 2019.

The NYC Department of Buildings requires building owners and managers to register their cooling tower systems and the registration data is shared with BWSO for this dataset. Registration data is entered by building owners and managers through the NYC Cooling Tower Registration Portal and cooling tower characteristics (such as building address) are published as entered by the registrant.

本数据集收录了当前已在纽约市（NYC）冷却塔登记门户完成登记的冷却塔系统，以及楼宇合格人员上报的军团菌（Legionella）水质检测日期。已退役的冷却塔系统不在本数据集收录范围内。

纽约市冷却塔登记要求于2015年8月18日由《纽约市行政法典》第17-194.1条正式确立；纽约市冷却塔的运维工作则依据《纽约市规则》第24编第8章（简称第8章）执行。

根据第8章的定义，冷却塔系统的合格人员需按照2019年4月28日修订的《纽约市行政法典》第17-194.1(f)条要求，向纽约市卫生部门报送军团菌水质检测日期。

纽约市建筑局要求楼宇业主及管理人员完成其冷却塔系统的登记工作，登记数据将共享给BWSO以构建本数据集。登记数据由楼宇业主及管理人员通过纽约市冷却塔登记门户录入，冷却塔相关属性信息（如楼宇地址）将按照登记者录入的内容予以公示。
