Managing energy use and costs is one of the many challenges of operating a commercial or industrial property. Volatility of energy prices and environmental factors have put considerable strain on businesses to make significant changes to energy consumption. In N.Y.C., office buildings consume almost 80% of all the city's energy. The cost of this energy averages $2.50 per s/f, almost a dollar more than the national average according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
On June 1, owners and managers of commercial and industrial properties in N.Y.C. and Westchester County can breathe a sigh of relief. The first annual Con Edison Energy Efficiency Summit: Racing Toward High Performance Buildings is on target to make an impact and help owners and managers capitalize on their energy-savings potential.
The one-day summit is scheduled to take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton New York and will feature business strategies, new technologies and valuable rebates and incentives available to Con Edison's commercial and industrial (C&I) customers who want to lower their energy use and costs through the installation of energy-efficient gas and electric equipment.
"Con Edison is committed to providing our customers with the resources they need to lower their energy usage. We encourage our customers to attend this summit and learn how to take advantage of the expertise, services and financial incentives available to them," said David Pospisil, Con Edison C&I program manager.
Con Edison's C&I Energy Efficiency Program offers cash back through its Equipment Rebate Program for the installation of energy efficient:
* Lighting, lighting fixtures and lighting controls
* Heating, ventilation and A.C. equipment
* Furnace, boilers and other gas equipment
* Variable frequency drives
* LED exit signs and display case lighting
For more complex energy efficiency projects, C&I customers can enroll in Con Edison's Custom Program for chiller and/or refrigeration system upgrades, compressed air system improvements, industrial process improvements, advanced technology lighting upgrades and more. Con Edison is also offering an incentive of up to 50% toward the cost of an energy efficiency study to evaluate gas and electric use, and recommend ways to save, in C&I customer facilities.
