Energy efficiency programme launched for New York’s commercial buildings

Commercial buildings in New York — including office towers, universities, hospitals, and retail stores — will be able to access an investment fund of $36 million in order to implement energy efficiency measures.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), who provided the funding, believes that commercial buildings, which are some of the state's biggest energy users, believes that the energy efficiency initiatives are estimated to cut energy bills of participating buildings by more than $200 million over eight years.

The programs are expected to save as much energy as it takes to power and heat 64,000 homes, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking 51,000 cars off the road every year. The new strategies will encourage building owners and tenants to leverage the power of new technologies, real-time performance data, and more intelligent design of tenant spaces to drive energy efficiency and smarter energy use at larger scale.

Approximately $30 million is now available through NYSERDA for Real Time Energy Management. These funds will support the use of advanced technologies to help building owners fine-tune their building's energy systems, identify capital projects to cut energy costs, and reduce operations and management costs by an expected 5 to 25 percent.

NYSERDA plans to make an additional $6 million available to building owners and their tenants this month to improve energy efficiency in leased office spaces, which typically consume between 40 to 60 percent of a building's total energy use. Companies that design and build energy efficient office spaces for their employees can anticipate paying an average of 30 percent less for energy than they would pay in a typical office space. They also can expect their investment to pay for itself within five years while helping to meet their sustainability goals and attract workers.

HeatingSave Building Energy Management System — the perfect solution to enable significant energy savings for commercial properties

Achieving energy savings within the non-domestic sector can be easily achieved by implementing advanced advanced BEMS (Building Energy Management System) solutions, and this is exactly where the HeatingSave system might prove its worth, since our solution allows customers to achieve immediately savings of up to 30%+ on their energy bills.

This is achieved by optimizing the energy consumption levels within any building with the help of an advanced heat-loss algorithm that creates a specific profile for any building and based on that, switches heating on later if its warm and off earlier if its cold.

It also automatically adjusts your boiler depending on how warm it is outside — save up to another 10%.

Furthermore, the system also offers an advanced automatic occupancy detection system that allows the temperature to reduce to a background when areas are not used and quickly brought up to temperature when they are being used.
