Introduction/Overview

Existing Facilities – Program is for reducing existing facilities energy use.

Technical Support Consultants (TSC)

• Gene Hickok

• Mike Miller

• Martin Hudi

Contrast with role of the CECs and AEs, define each, these are the people to contact.

NY is in the Energy Efficiency (EE) Business

What you need to know to be in the EE business:

• Include National Grid on your energy team(s)

• Include EE on all meeting Agendas

• Ask how does this new initiative, process or idea impact EE

• Before a failure occurs know what EE equipment or replacement equipment is available. “I will take the same but larger!!!”

• Know if the equipment is eligible for a utility incentive

• Don’t accept a vendor quote without EE in mind

• Don’t allow a design consultant to not include EE in their study

• Have EE projects on the shelf should budget $ become available

5

A project is determined to be Custom

Step 1 Energy Assessment

• Basic Information

Energy Assessment Form

Commercial and Industrial Form

Multi-Family Form

Energy Assessment – Outline

• Benchmarking of Therm/sq ft

• Opportunity for Prescriptive Measures

Rebate $, Approximate % savings, etc.

• Possible Pathways for Other Program

6

Where do projects come from?

Projects come from energy efficiency partners. These include but are not limited to:

Electrician Contractors

Mechanical Contractors

Consulting Engineers

Lighting Specialty Companies

Existing Studies with EE measures, etc

7

Review of “How”

A custom project, vendor collects data, submits to AE or CEC, TSC analyzes findings, pass screening, leads to incentive and MRD. Customer signs when project is completed, and then customer or others get paid.

Analyses are completed up front and National Grid commits to the incentive by holding the incentive dollars for the customer. National Grid stands by our incentive amount and it doesn’t change unless there is a change in project scope.
