NYSERDA offers assistance in the following areas:
- Energy Feasibility Studies
These studies evaluate improving the energy efficiency of a facility by identifying cost-effective measures, which in turn increase productivity and economic competitiveness. Types of assistance eligible for funding will generally be in the categories of energy efficient equipment replacement and evaluating energy-related process improvements.
- Rate Analysis and Aggregation Studies
These projects analyze rates, load shapes(s), and energy service aggregation opportunities. The goal is to help customers become more energy-efficient, and obtain a better understanding of their energy consumption, time of use, and purchase options through cost-effective procurement practices. Examples of projects eligible for funding include: analysis of customer baselines/loads/rates; technical assistance to help customers to prepare for negotiations with power marketers; advice on load aggregation an energy efficiency projects from energy service companies (ESCOs) with respect to potential performance contracting opportunities; and aggregating customers to purchase energy.
- Energy Retro-Commissioning (RCx)
These projects can include analyzing and evaluating procedures, which reduce energy consumption and costs by identifying operational efficiency improvements. Retro commissioning is a systematic process that optimizes the performance of an existing building or system. RCx does not include replacement of significant HVAC or other building components, but rather focuses on the verification of proper control strategies, sequence of operations, operations and maintenance plans, and other building or system optimization strategies.
- Long-Term Energy Management
These projects develop long-term capital budget strategies for the systematic replacement or upgrade of energy consuming and capital-intensive systems. They evaluate the current condition of the existing equipment, its expected useful life and energy-efficient replacement alternatives as a basis for a long-term capital budget strategy.
