Case Study – Holiday Inn Express at LaGuardia• Background: Holiday Inn Express at

LaGuardia Airport, an 85-room facility, turned to one of Con Edison’s Market Partners, Green Energy Solutions, to help get a handle on energy expenses. As this is a smaller hotel, they tend to use distributed systems that often run entirely on electricity, most commonly stand-alone Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs).

• Solution: The project included the installation of occupancy sensors, Energy Management Units (EMUs), and low voltage system interface in each of the 85 rooms to quickly get some of the energy spending under control. All the components of the energy management control system work together to effectively supply appropriate temperature to the room and lower temperature when rooms are not occupied. 7

Results


Case Study: The Hertz Corporation

• Background: The Hertz Corporation wanted to realize significant energy savings and continue to improve the sustainability profile of its New York City car rental locations. Con Edison Market Partner, LVI Energy developed a plan to retrofit six out of the fourteen Manhattan Hertz locations with upgraded lighting systems.

• Solutions: The main focus of the project entailed a one-for-one replacement of fluorescent lamps and ballasts, incandescent exit signs and 400 watt MH dome fixtures in customer service and garage areas. Upgrading lighting fixtures to make energy-efficient improvements to its Hertz facilities, The Hertz Corporation has lowered its energy consumption 30 percent or approximately 203,000 kWh per year.

Results


Case Study: FoodTown Supermarket

• Background: Management of the FoodTown in the Bronx did not have any immediate energy efficiency plans and was not privy to the various benefits a high-performance store offers. Con Edison Market Partner, Global Energy Efficiency Corp. (GEE) outlined the various cost-saving opportunities and benefits that could be realized with energy efficiency improvements.

• Solution: Since refrigeration and lighting make up over 50 percent of total energy use in an average supermarket, it was likely these systems were the best place to start looking for energy efficiency opportunities. Lighting upgrades include refrigerated case LED lighting and motion sensor package for installed overhead LED strips. Refrigeration upgrades include night covers, anti-sweat heater controls ECM open case and ECM walk-in box motors.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I submit an efficiency project to the program?

– Complete the program application and spreadsheet (as needed).

• What are the differences between the C&I program and the Small Business Direct Install Program?

– Smaller Commercial Customers (average peak monthly demand 100kW or less) can participate in the C&I Program or the Small Business Direct Install program – whichever offers the most favorable incentive to the customer.

– The C&I Program offers more measures, including gas incentives.

20



• What are the differences between the C&I program and the Multi-Family Energy Efficiency Program?

– The Multi-Family Energy Efficiency Program offers gas and electric incentives for 5-75 unit buildings.

– Common space system improvements in multi-family buildings of more than 75 units may qualify under the C&I program.

• Does New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offer similar programs?

– Yes. Use the different programs to your customer’s best advantage. The only restriction is that customers cannot receive incentives from Con Edison and NYSERDA for the same measure. However, you can break down projects into phases and apply for both programs to maximize your incentives.

21



• Do government buildings qualify for the C&I Program?

– State, County, and local government buildings typically do not qualify.

– Federal buildings do qualify.

• How long does it take to get an incentive check?

Controls

• Controls are an important component of your overall building system.

• Why heat or cool areas when the load isn't there or pay for electricity usage in low trafficked areas?

44

• New systems allow you to run an intelligent facility/space that responds to your needs.

• The C&I program rebates controls projects based on the first year’s estimated savings at a rate of $2 per Therm and $0.12 per kWh. The upper limit for the rebate will be 50% of total project costs.
