20 Pointers Not To Be
Overlooked in Managing
Energy Costs In Your
Business

JS Top 20
20. How do you start and stop your equipment? How
often?
19. There’s no free lunch, efficiency versus operating costs
versus load factor.
18. Internal metering, does it exist? Calculating energy
use.
5

17. Step down transformers – Don’t let them drive up your
energy costs! Oversized buildings can be killers.
16. Sensitive equipment and protection.
15. Be cautious of used equipment purchases/ equipment
longevity.
14. Low bid purchases, not always the best decision.
6

13. Motor rightsizing – it’s easy, down-size when
appropriate.
12. Equipment controls – a must to control building
systems.
11. Know thy tenant, and realistically calculate their energy
bill.
10. Energy costs and the real estate lease – they seldom
come together.

9. Your business versus your building envelope, it makes
a huge difference.
8. Little changes make a difference – let’s look at the
office PC.
7. Keep an eye on supply costs -- they’re on your bill.
6. Know where your rate class thresholds are. It makes a
huge difference.
5. Understand how we meter and bill for demand.

4. Make operational and productivity changes that reduce
your demand.
3. Redundant Systems – worse than a last second loss.
2. Watts / Square Foot Ratio -- Where do you stack up?
Versus the competition?
…And…the No. 1 pick for managing your energy
costs is…

1. Review your energy profile
twice a year.

Buildings: Energy and Environment
 Use 1/3 of the Nation’s primary energy
(This becomes over 50% when taking into
account the energy use of the infrastructure
needed to support buildings.)
 Use 2/3 of the Nation’s gas and electricity
and 1/3 greenhouse gas emissions
11
Efficiency - 1st Line of Defense for Controllable Cost
 Lower gas and electric operating costs help sustain
operations
 Improved building performance for higher productivity
 Cash incentives reduce construction cost
 Added value enhances investment
12
Plan Overview – Energy Efficiency Portfolio
Standard Drives Opportunity
 National Grid strongly supports actions to expand the State’s energy
efficiency efforts. Our petition represents an integrated plan to
advance the achievement of the State’s critical 15 x 15 goals.
 We will offer a suite of integrated electric and gas programs for
residential and commercial and industrial customers that supplement
and complement the work of state and local agencies, utilities and
particularly NYSERDA:
 Proposed budget of $219 million for the three year Plan period ($179
million for electric; $40 million for gas).
 Current recovery of projected costs, lost revenues and incentives
through the SBC.
 Projected lifetime savings are 4.4 million MWh (electric) and 8.5
million MMBtu (gas) and $321 million in net benefits.

Planning Builds on Mature Programs, Strategies
and Delivery – Commercial and Industrial
 Large Business Program
 Energy Initiative - Retrofit
 Targets integrated gas and electric energy efficient
opportunities for existing buildings and equipment
 Replaces inefficient equipment or systems
Reduces owners operating costs
Technical Solutions Prime Platform
Commissioning – Quality Assurance
 Incentives up to 50% with buy down to one year
Prescriptive Approach

Small Business Program: Description
 Eligible customers <= 100 kW
– “Mom&Pops”: Pizza shops, convenience stores, barbershops
– Government: cities, towns, state and federal facilities less than 100 kW (schools, libraries, town
halls)
– Strip Malls and Chain Stores: Facilities where the individual customers in the building are less
than 100 kW even if mastered meter
– University buildings
 “Customer just signs the contract”: Program is a direct install, turnkey program
designed to overcome barriers to participation for smaller customers;
– No cost, no obligation audit provides project proposal
– National Grid contributes 70% Customer = 30%.
– On bill financing where customers can choose 12 or 24 monthly installments, interest free or
one time payment with 15% discount
– Installation and materials provided through National Grid Small Business vendor
– Recycling of fluorescent lamps and ballasts at no cost to customer
 Focuses on most common end uses
– Lighting: T8 re-lamp/re-ballast and new fixtures, occupancy sensors, LED exit signs & CFLs
– Refrigeration: Reach-in/Walk-in controls, high efficiency motors, heater door controls

Small Business Program: Delivery Structure
 Business partners selected through competitive bid process provide the majority
of program roles and responsibilities, enabling large scale implementation at
aggressive labor and material prices.
 Lighting Labor Vendors: Primary responsible for program delivery including
marketing, audits, data entry in to InDemand, customer presentation, ordering
materials, scheduling electricians. Assigned based on geographic region and
provided annual spending and savings budgets with opportunity to earn
performance incentives for meeting spending and savings budgets.
 Lighting Material Vendor: Provides lighting equipment such as lamps, ballasts,
fixtures and occupancy sensors. Typically one for entire state.
 Refrigeration Vendor: Specialized end use that focuses on walk-in and reach-in
coolers such as found in convenience stores, wine/beer distributors, and other
small business with refrigeration systems. Approximately 10% of the total budget
and typically one for the entire state.
 Recycling Vendor: Picks up fluorescent lamps and ballasts from customer
facilities.
 National Grid Program Manager and Evaluation staff

Collaboration with NYSERDA and Joint Utilities
 Working with NYSERDA- Existing Buildings
- Coordinate Customer Contacts
- Develop Common Incentive Structure
- Share Technical Assistance Firms
- Create Uniformity in Eligibility Where Possible
 New Construction Opportunities for Customers
 How do you get new or renovated buildings to
exceed minimum code?
 How do you meet owners demands for better
buildings, built at a reasonable cost, that also
create value?
