Willets Point Asphalt

Willets Point has removed about 1,500 of these CO2 balloons from our atmostphere annually for the next 20 years.

“Willets Point Asphalt produces asphalt with 40% fewer carbon emissions. This project showcases our contribution to reducing green house gases” Ken Tully, Willets Point Asphalt
Willets Point Asphalt (WPA) manufacturers asphalt for public and private roadways. Firstly, WPA is a long time customer of ours. We approached WPA to offer assistance in lowering energy costs. WPA was interested in contributing to NYC’s carbon challenge. This asphalt plant was 15 years young with about 10 years of useful life left. Consequently, since most of our Customers are commercial office buildings, working at an asphalt plant was both exotic and challenging to us.
Fordham University Law School
LED Lighting Upgrades.  Automated Demand Response.  Dormitory PTAC Units and more! Fordham approached ConEdison and Nyserda to seek cash incentives to offset their project costs for a new law school building.  LCA was engaged and overturned every stone to maximise Fordham's energy effciency incentives.  LCA was able to identify additional measures that if implemented would qualify Fordham to receive cash incentive bonuses under the pilot Demand Management Program. Highlights included the implementation of a pollution mitigation system that allows Fordham to dispatch a diesel generator to participate in a demand response program.  LCA also increased the cash incentive for a PTAC replacement on one of the dormitory floors by 500% by including an ADR system.

Benefits:

  • $700,000 in cash incentives
  • $700,000 in annual cost savings
  • 1.75M kWh annual energy savings
Carbon footprint reduction of 1300 tons/year of CO2

The energy efficiency project at 880 Broadway earned accolades for its transformative impact on sustainability. The property manager, honored with the BOMA NY Manager of the Year award 2023, collaborated with Cutone & Company Consultants to drive change. Their focus? Electrification. By replacing an aging oil-fired steam boiler with clean energy heat pumps, significant strides were made in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency. Through a robust tenant engagement program, flagship restaurant Jean-Georges identified opportunities for clean energy efficiency improvements. With support from the property manager and consultants, Jean-Georges embarked on a tailored energy efficiency program, setting a new standard for sustainable practices in the real estate industry.

Trump Soho Hotel
Before the Trump Soho hotel was built their developers engaged LC Associates to identify any opportunities to offset project costs and identify energy efficiency opportunities. 

LCA identified two emergency generators that were possible candidates for an Automated Demand Response (ADR) application.  The two generators were upgraded to exceed EPA standards for environmental impact and fitted out to a building automation system and participated in a demand response program.  The ADR controls enable the generators to take power off the grid in times of stress and avoid the necessity of importing less environmentally friendly power from remote power plants.

Benefits:

  • 400 kW of demand Response
  • ~$80,000 cash incentive
New York Methodist Hospital

This Client was one of our first projects where we maxed out an incentive for a steam retention program at $500,000.   NYSERDA at the time (circa 2007) was so impressed that the reigning President of NYSERDA awarded LC Associates with the "Most Outstanding ESCo" award.

This project entailed the installation of two 400 ton steam absorber chillers in order to avoid the installation of two electric 400 ton machines.  The project allowed around 400 kW of electric demand to be removed from the electric grid permanently.
Proudly Serving Clients since 2002

In 2007 NYSERDA’s President awarded LC Associates the “Most Outstanding ESCo Award”. Since then we have grown into a 20 person Energy Consulting firm. We are truly committed to making our clients successful while making a positive impact on the environment.
