Utility and Government Programs We Use

Turn required upgrades into profit centers.

New York State and New York City offer some of the most aggressive energy-efficiency and decarbonization incentives in the country. These programs exist to help building owners reduce operating costs, lower carbon emissions, modernize their infrastructure, and keep jobs local. LC Associates has deep experience navigating every major incentive program. Below is a selection of the funding mechanisms we’ve used to secure significant financial and technical incentives for our customers

ConEdison C&I Program

Get up to 50% of qualifying project costs covered through ConEdison's Commercial and Industrial Program

Con Edison’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Program provides cash incentives for energy-efficient upgrades across lighting, HVAC, controls, boilers, and process systems. LC Associates has mastered this program — securing millions of dollars in incentives every year for our customers.

We’ve developed proprietary software and automated workflows that streamline engineering, documentation, and approvals, allowing us to deliver funding faster, more accurately, and with higher payout percentages than conventional consultants. With LC Associates, the C&I Program becomes a powerful tool to reduce project costs and maximize ROI.

ConEdison's Real Time Energy Management Program (RTEM)

Real-Time Energy Management (RTEM) – Powered by GreenConnect™

Our GreenConnect™ RTEM platform transforms your building into a continuously optimized energy asset. By integrating directly with your building controls, we monitor performance in real time, identify inefficiencies, and unlock operational savings with little or no capital investment.

Unlike traditional Con Edison C&I incentives, the RTEM program pays for operational cost reductions, not just equipment upgrades — and those savings can be monetized for up to four years. With GreenConnect™, you gain actionable insights, automated reporting, peak-demand avoidance, and measurable dollar-for-dollar value from day one.

Maximize efficiency. Minimize cost. Monetize results.

 
 

NYSERDA's Onsite Energy Manager (OsEM) Program

Unlock expert energy management with minimal out-of-pocket cost.

The NYSERDA OsEM program provides funding for building owners to bring in a dedicated Energy Manager focused on reducing operating costs, improving building performance, and identifying long-term efficiency opportunities. Through this program, NYSERDA covers a significant portion of the Energy Manager’s cost, enabling organizations to access high-level engineering expertise at a fraction of the normal expense.

With LC Associates, your OsEM partnership becomes a strategic asset. We deploy experienced engineers who analyze your energy profile, implement proven cost-saving measures, create actionable plans, and oversee real-world reductions in energy use. The result is measurable performance improvement, stronger budgeting control, and better long-term planning — all with substantial financial support from the State.

You gain dedicated engineering expertise.

NYSERDA's Flex-Tech Program

Save on Loal Law 87, 88 and 97 Compliance Costs!

The NYSERDA FlexTech Program helps building owners make informed, profitable decisions by funding 50–70% of energy-consulting services. LCA Energy Services is an approved FlexTech partner, delivering strategic studies that cut operating costs and support long-term compliance.

With FlexTech support, owners can offset the cost of

  • Local Law 87, 88 and 97 Compliance Studies
  • Energy Audits, System evaluations, and decarbonization plans
  • Feasibility Studies for HVAC, Lighting, BMS, heat pumps, elecrification and other capital upgrades.
  • Comprehensive Building Roadmaps that identify phased improvements to boost NOI, reduce carbon exposure, and increase asset value.

FlexTech makes these services far more affordable—while giving you clear, data-driven guidance for smarter investments, higher efficiency, and lower operating expenses.

LCA Energy Services handles the entire process from application to final report, ensuring you maximize the incentive and get a deliverable that supports both compliance and profitability.

ConEdison Clean Heat Program

Get Paid to Replace Dirty Boilers with Clean Electric Heat Pumps!

Unlock some of the largest incentives in New York for heat-pump electrification through Con Edison’s Clean Heat Program. LCA Energy Services helps building owners capture these massive rebates for air-source, water-source, VRF, and heat-pump domestic hot water systems—often covering a significant portion of project costs.

Our team pairs Clean Heat incentives with energy studies, FlexTech analyses, and electrification roadmaps to identify the highest-ROI path for your building. From early scoping to final commissioning, we manage the entire incentive process, coordinate with your design team, and ensure every eligible savings measure is captured.

Whether you’re targeting Local Law 97 compliance, replacing aging boilers, or planning a long-term electrification strategy, Clean Heat incentives can dramatically improve project economics. LCA delivers the engineering, documentation, and application support needed to secure maximum funding and accelerate decarbonization—with no disruption to operations.

Dirty Boilers Begone

Let us Secure Funding for you.

Most building owners do not need an elecric service upgrade to convert to clean heat pumps.

DHW Heatpumps

Dirty Boilers Begone

Clean Heat Pumps make 140 degF Hot Water

These gem’s are amazing.  Long gone are the days when you had to crawl down to your basement to relight the gas pilot.

Multifamily Solutions

Come Home to a Warm Home

Extra funding for clean heat controls.  Every space has a thermostat.  Better controls means better environment and lower costs.

NYSERDA and ConEdison Multifamily Incentive Programs

Special Set Aside Programs for Affordable and Market Rate Housing!

New York offers some of the richest incentives in the country for improving energy performance in multifamily buildings. NYSERDA and Con Edison both provide programs that significantly reduce the cost of upgrades ranging from lighting, HVAC, and controls to full electrification and envelope improvements.

Transform your multifamily property with incentives that make deep energy upgrades financially achievable.

NYSERDA Multifamily Programs

NYSERDA supports comprehensive upgrades through incentives tied to energy savings, decarbonization, and long-term building performance. Programs can cover a large share of costs for measures such as heat pumps, ventilation improvements, domestic hot water upgrades, air sealing, and full building roadmaps. These incentives pair well with FlexTech energy studies, which can be funded at 50–70%, giving owners a clear capital plan and compliance path for Local Law 87 and 97.

ConEdison Multifamily Programs

Con Edison offers prescriptive and custom incentives for multifamily common areas and in-unit upgrades, including high-efficiency heating/cooling, LED lighting, variable frequency drives, controls, heat-pump water heaters, and building-level optimization. For larger properties, Con Edison’s incentive structure can offset a significant portion of the total project cost, improving NOI and reducing payback periods.

How LCA Energy Services Helps

We handle everything—from the initial energy assessment to design review, application submission, measurement & verification, and final incentive payment. Our team structures multifamily upgrade packages that maximize funding across both NYSERDA and Con Edison, ensuring owners get the highest possible return and a clear pathway to decarbonization.
