The Project

NYCEEC provided funding to bridge the gap between the costs of completed energy efficiency measures in seven multifamily buildings and the associated incentives through the ConEd Multifamily Energy Efficiency Program incentive program. The customer, Building Efficiency Services, had previously completed the replacement and repair of approximately 5,720 steam traps in the Lenox Terrace and Hudsonview Terrace developments in Manhattan, NY. These developments include affordable housing units.

Incentive payments under the ConEd program, as well as others, often account for a substantial portion of the project budgets and are not often paid upfront. Building Efficiency Services had multiple projects in various stages with associated incentives due to be received.

NYCEEC’s funding provided the customer with the ability to cover upfront operational costs incurred during the execution of these projects.

The Results
