first steps at NYARM show
Quality Conservation Services,
Inc. (QCS) was pleased to host
many show attendees at our booth
in this year’s sold-out NYARM
show on September 16. Property
owners, managers, superintendents
and others alike were educated in
energy – reduction that is. QCS
offers a comprehensive energy
reduction program which imme-
diately addresses one of property
owners’ most paramount concerns
– energy costs and conservation.

and reduce their buildings’ energy
consumption.This year’s show suc-
cess did not disappoint, and we are
looking forward to an even greater
response next year.
Property owners and managers
throughout the New York metro-
politan area well know the myriad
of challenges they face in doing
business here. The recent 25%
increase in utility rates surely had
a negative impact on many own-
ers’ bottom lines, so it’s no wonder
energy conservation is becoming a
growing concern.The good news is
. . . energy usage is one budget area
that’srelativelyeasytocontrol.This
is where the GreenSmart Energy
Reduction Program® comes in: re-
ducingtenants’energyuse,lowering
energycosts,andtherebyincreasing
a building’s profitability.
The GreenSmart Energy Reduc-
tion Program® was developed in
direct response to feedback we
received from property owners
for property owners. Through this
program targeted to owners, man-
agers and developers of multi-unit
residentialbuildings,QCSconducts
a comprehensive, free energy re-
duction needs analysis to identify
the opportunities to reduce energy
use in the areas of water/sewer, air
infiltration and lighting. QCS then
makes recommendations based
upon the results of this analysis
to help reduce energy consump-
tion. The installation of up to 100
individual, passive weatherization
measures is the first important step
owners should take to take to put
their buildings on an energy diet.
These measures not only keep en-
ergyuseincheck,theyalsoimprove
the building’s carbon footprint and
tenant comfort, quickly and ef-
ficiently, without heavy investment
in large-scale projects.
