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).
Results
• 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


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 Results
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.

8


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 Results
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?
– The customer will receive a check approximately 4 to 6 weeks
after final inspection.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC)
• It’s important to keep in mind the age of HVAC equipment
in order to protect your investment.
― Conduct a survey of the building
equipment and check ages as well as
condition.
― ASHRAE Standards pending on type of
equipment typically recommend
replacement every 15- 20yrs….Life
Expectancy (Equipment Life)
― Utilize the Con Edison C&I Program to
your advantage to assist you with these
upgrades incentives are available for
Packaged Terminal AC/HP, Unitary
HVAC and Split Air Systems, Air to Air
Heat Pumps and Water Heat
Pumps, just to name a few. 43


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?

• 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.
