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.

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.
650 Fifth Avenue

One of the first Power over Ethernet Lighting projects we have helped secure incentives for in New York City. This project entailed the installation of a "digital ceiling" that included LED Light fixtures, sensors and actuators driven by a CISCO PoE switch.

  • $12,000 cash incentive
  • 35% installation cost savings
