In November 2007, Cablevision Nassau Field Operations relocated to the 198 Grumman Road location in Bethpage, NY. Constructed in 1999 and owned by Steel Equities, LLC, the facility is a 68,000-square-foot, single-story commercial office building occupied by multiple tenants and includes a 20,000-square-foot indoor parking garage. In 2008, the Facility Operations team began an initiative to monitor and record overall energy usage to create a baseline for the development of an energy reduction program. By the end of 2008, the building received an initial 1-100 ENERGY STAR score of 68. In 2009, through the use of internal and external energy usage audits, as well as staff training, the compiled data resulted in the implementation of an aggressive energy reduction program.
The first phase to be implemented and completed was the replacement of 61 individual 400-watt metal halide fixtures in the indoor parking garage with fluorescent, high output T-5 high bay fixtures with occupancy sensors. This measure resulted in an annual savings of over 80,000 kWh and $13,000. Thanks to a generous incentive from local electric supplier at the time, Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), the return on investment (ROI) for this project was less than six months. In continuing with energy reduction through lighting improvements, all office lighting began being replaced with more efficient bulbs as needed. Occupancy sensors were installed in private offices as well as common areas, digital timers were installed on exterior lighting, and all the emergency exit signs were upgraded to LED fixtures. These progressive initiatives led to an ENERGY STAR score of 84 by the end of 2011. Further, the building's carbon footprint was reduced by 132 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
The success of the reduction program resulted in 700 megawatt hours of savings. In 2013, the building was once again recognized with an ENERGY STAR score of 86. In 2015, the building was recertified with an ENERGY STAR score of 90.
The facility operations team has a philosophy of continual improvement, and energy efficiency will remain a pivotal part of their future goals.
