Energy Management
We use EnergyScoreCards to provide benchmarking, energy management, measurement and & verification (M&V) services, and visibility to our clients. This tool provides a comprehensive view of energy consumption, allowing us to make data-driven decisions that enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and support environmental sustainability goals for our clients.
We understand the infrastructure and the energy challenges facing our clients now mandated by New York’s Energy Local Law requirements. This includes:
We provide the installation, project management, and oversight of CCHP/CCP systems to help clients improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.
REVISIT
Our service aims to improve the thermal efficiency of your building by addressing air leaks and insulation issues. This can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs while improving overall comfort.
We implement strategies and technologies to reduce water usage, from efficient fixtures and appliances to rainwater collection systems. This not only conserves a vital resource but also results in substantial savings.
We provide energy-efficient lighting solutions, such as LED technology, that reduce energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improve light quality.
We design and install advanced HVAC systems that offer superior energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, and greater climate control, all while reducing energy costs.
We offer smart control systems for managing various building systems such as lighting, heating, and cooling, optimizing energy usage, and enhancing comfort and convenience.
We coordinate with third-party utility providers to manage energy supplies and negotiate favorable terms, ensuring reliable service and cost-effective rates.
Our team reviews your utility bills to identify billing errors and potential savings, providing a thorough analysis to ensure you're not overpaying.
We help you participate in demand response programs, which incentivize reducing electricity usage during peak demand periods. This can lead to significant cost savings and contribute to grid stability.
We assist in applying for cooling tower credits, a potential cost-saving opportunity for buildings that use cooling towers and evaporative condensers, ensuring you receive any rebates you're eligible for.
The State of New York’s Department of Energy (NYSERDA) and Con Edison Energy Programs provide grants to cover costs for qualified capital projects that reduce energy consumption.
Expanding Our Reach into New Jersey
Innovative Partnerships for a Sustainable Future
At LPI Energy, we're proud to announce our new role as a Trade Ally Partner with the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. This collaboration brings our sustainable energy solutions to New Jersey, complementing our long-standing services in New York.
Joining the New Jersey Clean Energy Program's CHP initiative signifies our commitment to innovative energy efficiency. CHP technology optimizes on-site power generation and waste heat utilization, contributing to a more sustainable environment and reducing grid dependency.
We guide our clients in leveraging New Jersey's generous incentives, including up to $50,000 for Feasibility Studies and 30-40% coverage of project costs through State Incentive Funding. These incentives are a cornerstone in advancing CHP and Fuel Cell technologies in New Jersey.
As part of our expanded services, we now offer comprehensive solutions in installing and managing various clean energy generation systems under the NJCEP, including:
Fuel Cells
Photovoltaics (Solar Electricity)
Small Wind Systems
Sustainable Biomass Equipment
With rebate amounts ranging from 30–70% of system costs, these initiatives not only foster a greener environment but also offer substantial financial benefits to our clients.
Incentives and Funding
Local and State Incentive Programs
The State of New York’s Department of Energy (NYSERDA) and Con Edison Energy Programs provide grants to cover costs for qualified capital projects that reduce energy consumption. Leonard Powers pursues public incentives and private financing opportunities to support comprehensive energy improvement packages for its clients.
As an Approved Con Edison Market Partner, we assist building owners and managers to gain maximum rebates and financial incentives from City, State, and Federal sources and leverage matching Utility Incentive Programs. Incentives covering up to 50% of the cost to implement Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) are available if such ECMs reduce per-meter energy usage.
These incentive programs can offset the cost of new energy-efficient equipment and advanced technologies and even assist with technical studies. Clean Energy Solutions such as Cogeneration can also provide utility heating and cooling as well as the benefit of Utility Reliability during power outages.
