NYSERDA Strategic Energy Management
During an Energy Treasure Hunt, teams walk around a facility looking for quick ways to save energy. Those quick fixes can add up to big savings. Hundreds of organizations have used Energy Treasure Hunts to reduce their facilities’ energy use by up to 15 percent. Are you and your crew ready to find the treasure buried within your facilities?
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers training options that teach businesses how to establish and implement SEM. One of these options, Virtual Treasure Hunts, use a virtual energy audit approach that leverages on-site staff, supported remotely by skilled energy auditors, to identify energy saving opportunities, prioritize findings, and calculate the potential savings. Eligible participants include New York State Commercial and Industrial facilities that are New York State electricity customers who pay into the System Benefits Charge (SBC) through their electric utility company. With NYSERDA’s support, several facilities have also received recognition through the ENERGY STAR Find the Treasure in Your Facility campaign.
