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

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.

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.

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…

Buildings: Energy and EnvironmentBuildings: 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

Plan Overview – Energy Efficiency Portfolio Plan Overview – Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard Drives OpportunityStandard 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.

Small Business Program: DescriptionSmall 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
