  1. Technical Assistance Roundtable for Custom Projects Session 1: Cypress D/E

  2. Introduction/Overview • Existing Facilities – Program is for reducing existing facilities energy use. • Technical Support Consultants (TSC) • Gene Hickok • Mike Miller • Martin Hudi • Contrast with role of the CECs and AEs, define each, these are the people to contact.

  3. Customer Contact Pre-inspection and Input Customer Data Complete Tech Review Assess Applicable Incentives and Advise Customer Perform EE Study if needed Post Inspection Incentive Payment Approved and Sent Install and/or Upgrade Equipment Customer Documentation for Completed Work Update Appropriate Data in National Grid System Simple Energy Initiative Work Flow Letter to Customer For Approval and Signature

  4. NY is in the Energy Efficiency (EE) Business • What you need to know to be in the EE business: • Include National Grid on your energy team(s) • Include EE on all meeting Agendas • Ask how does this new initiative, process or idea impact EE • Before a failure occurs know what EE equipment or replacement equipment is available. “I will take the same but larger!!!” • Know if the equipment is eligible for a utility incentive • Don’t accept a vendor quote without EE in mind • Don’t allow a design consultant to not include EE in their study • Have EE projects on the shelf should budget $ become available

  5. A project is determined to be Custom • Step 1 Energy Assessment • Basic Information • Energy Assessment Form • Commercial and Industrial Form • Multi-Family Form • Energy Assessment – Outline • Benchmarking of Therm/sq ft • Opportunity for Prescriptive Measures • Rebate $, Approximate % savings, etc. • Possible Pathways for Other Program

  6. Where do projects come from? • Projects come from energy efficiency partners. These include but are not limited to: • Electrician Contractors • Mechanical Contractors • Consulting Engineers • Lighting Specialty Companies • Existing Studies with EE measures, etc

  7. Review of “How” • A custom project, vendor collects data, submits to AE or CEC, TSC analyzes findings, pass screening, leads to incentive and MRD. Customer signs when project is completed, and then customer or others get paid. • Analyses are completed up front and National Grid commits to the incentive by holding the incentive dollars for the customer. National Grid stands by our incentive amount and it doesn’t change unless there is a change in project scope.

  8. Technical Analysis and Review • Energy Assessment (basic info on a facility) • Vendor Analysis – information comes from your vendor • Scoping Study • TA Study 50-50 • Review of existing TA Study

  9. Project Incentives • Dollars for projects based on kwh’s and therms saved. • Incentive Caps: • Up to 50% of the project • Buy down to not less than 1-year simple payback • $2.25/therm based on annual therm savings • $0.131/kwh for Lighting • $0.197/kwh for Commercial and Small Industrial • $0.292/kwh for Large Industrial

  10. Successful Types of Projects • Demand Control Ventilation • Steam Piping Insulation • High Efficiency Boiler Replacements • Large Boiler Combustion efficiency Controls

  11. Successful Types of Projects • Variable Speed Drive Air Compressors • Energy Management Systems and Enhancements • High Efficiency Lighting and Controls • LED Sign Lighting • Commercial Refrigeration including Evaporator Motors and Controls • Industrial Process Energy Efficiency Improvements

  12. Closing Questions & Answers?
