Existing Building Commissioning Programs
Our Real-Time Energy Management (RTEM) and Retro-commissioning (RCx) programs can help commercial and industrial customers reduce their energy usage.
Both programs focus on technical services that identify and implement low- to no-cost energy conservation measures. Approved and authorized engineering firms, also known as Qualified Service Providers (QSPs), will work directly with you to scope your facility, install monitoring systems (RTEM-only), recommend energy- and cost-saving measures, verify your results, and help ensure persistence of savings.
This program includes ongoing monitoring and assessment of your facility. The RTEM software will address current and future energy-saving opportunities as long as the software is in place.
Eligibility
Participants must:
- Be located in National Grid's upstate New York service area.
- Have an average annual peak demand >300 kW
- Have an existing, functional Building Automation System
Incentives
The following incentive payments are available directly to the customer for National Grid-verified energy savings at the conclusion of a project*:
- $0.02/kWh (National Grid electric customers)
- $0.15/therm (National Grid gas customers)
*Incentives may be capped at a percentage of project implementation cost.
Additional incentives are provided directly to the QSP to offset the customer’s contribution for:
- Scoping study (facility walkthrough to identify energy efficiency opportunities)
- Installation of monitoring software
This program includes a one-time assessment of your facility. The RCx program will address current energy-saving opportunities.
