Existing Building Commissioning Programs

Our Real-Time Energy Management (RTEM) and Retro-commissioning (RCx) programs can help commercial and industrial customers reduce their energy usage.

Both programs focus on technical services that identify and implement low- to no-cost energy conservation measures. Approved and authorized engineering firms, also known as Qualified Service Providers (QSPs) and Qualified System Providers (QSyPs), will work directly with you to scope your facility, install monitoring systems (RTEM-only), recommend energy- and cost-saving measures, verify your results, and help ensure persistence of savings.

Tablet with charts and graphs

This program includes ongoing monitoring and assessment of your facility. The RTEM software will address current and future energy-saving opportunities as long as the software is in place.

Eligibility

Participants must:

  • Be located in National Grid's upstate New York service area.
  • Have an average annual peak demand >300 kW
  • Have an existing, functional Building Automation System

Incentives

The following incentive payments are available directly to the customer for National Grid-verified energy savings at the conclusion of a project*:

  • $0.02/kWh (National Grid electric customers)
  • $0.15/therm (National Grid gas customers)

*Incentives may be capped at a percentage of project implementation cost.

Additional incentives are provided directly to the QSyP/QSP to offset the customer’s contribution for:

  • Scoping study (facility walkthrough to identify energy efficiency opportunities)
  • Installation of monitoring software
