You will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with representatives from the following organizations before and after the formal presentation and panel discussion:

 

CITY AND STATE RESOURCES

City of New York
New York City has two programs to accelerate energy and water retrofits in privately-owned buildings to help lower operating costs and meet the city’s sustainability goals. They are key components of Mayor de Blasio’s commitment to reduce citywide greenhouse gas emissions 80% from 2005 levels by 2050. NYSERDA helps bring multifamily buildings to peak performance and turns common building problems into an opportunity to optimize the performance of systems and equipment. NYSERDA offers two energy efficient building solutions that give you control over your energy bills:
New York City launched the NYC Carbon Challenge for Multifamily Buildings in 2013, engaging the city's largest residential property management companies to commit to reduce GHG emissions across selected buildings in their portfolios by at least 30 percent by making cost-saving energy efficiency improvements. Management firms have pledged to reduce the GHG emissions from over 900 multifamily buildings over 10 years. All together, these buildings represent over 110 million square feet, or six percent of the city's large and mid-sized residential square footage. In addition to reducing emissions, the energy efficiency and clean energy improvements these buildings undertake will also improve local air quality and increase resiliency to extreme weather events. Improving the efficiency of these buildings will also mitigate or reduce operating costs.


NYCEEC is a non‐profit dedicated to financing energy efficiency and clean energy projects in buildings. NYCEEC’s single-focus and deep expertise provide fast, flexible financing to meet the full range of a project’s needs. NYCEEC has provided leadership in the multifamily market, working closely with incentive providers and utilities on some of the deepest and highest-return retrofits. As a mission-driven lender, NYCEEC has the flexibility to make projects work – financing up to 100% of project costs, including construction and soft costs such as energy audits, and solving cash flow concerns by bridging incentive payments to match construction milestones. NYCEEC’s loan application is easy, user friendly and simple, with guaranteed quick turnarounds.

Con Edison administers the Multifamily Energy Efficiency Program (MFEEP) to provide financial and technical support to help multifamily building owners and operators install energy efficiency measures. This program offers customers financial incentives for approved equipment upgrades in common areas and in units. Custom incentives and prescriptive rebates are available for upgrades including LED light fixtures, high efficiency boilers, pipe insulation, roof insulation, and energy management systems.


National Grid offers energy efficiency services for multifamily dwellings such as apartment buildings, condominiums, and housing complexes. Building owners and managers can take advantage of the utility’s programs to weatherize facilities or make other energy-saving improvements. Benefits include a more even and comfortable temperature throughout the building, lower energy bills, and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
