The energy scope for the project includes converting from electric baseboard to hydronic heating which will produce significant energy and cost-savings. We are providing the services to procure incentives from the NYSERDA MPP, commission the new hydronic boiler plants, and set up monitoring equipment that will allow us to track the performance of critical building systems in real time through our MoBIUS offering.

After determining that solar PV was the most cost-effective on-site generation technology, we designed a system that will significantly reduce the property’s electric costs. We are now installing the 575.52 kW solar system, the third largest system on an affordable multifamily property in New York State. Read more about our work here.
