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
4
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
5
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
6
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.
7
Technical Analysis and Review
 Energy Assessment (basic info on a facility)
 Vendor Analysis – information comes from your vendor
 Scoping Study
 TA Study 50-50
 Review of existing TA Study
