How a 500K square foot NJ office building earned 45% in energy savings with a $0 outlay

The challenge:

The HVAC system was 30 years old. Equipment was failing and clearly would not make it through the upcoming summer. To make matters worse, the building management system was hopelessly outdated, with thermostats and ventilation controls being managed manually. It was inefficient and time-consuming, to be sure.

The solution:

After running a complete analysis of the building’s requirements, we recommended they replace the rooftop units and upgrade the control boxes. This resulted in more precise temperature control, reduced compressor wear, and lower energy consumption by system fans, in addition to less fan noise and more passive dehumidification. We also suggested comprehensive retrofitting of all the lighting in the building to modern, energy-saving LED lighting technology.

The best part!

While these improvements were costly, the client paid exactly nothing out of pocket. EZ secured a NJ clean energy grant which covered the first $1M. We then arranged financing for the rest, with the payments coming completely and only from the 45% savings. The balance will be paid up in less than 5 years, after which the savings will go directly to the client.

How a 68K square foot property got 30K wiped off their account

The challenge:

When the new management of Yeshiva Machzikei Hadas received a debt collection notice for more than 80K on behalf of their electric supplier, they were dismayed. They soon realized that in the process of transferring management, there had been an oversight, and the electric bill hadn’t been paid for 4 months. For the 68K SF cluster of properties, where summer months can see usage topping 160 kw/H, it amounted to a huge outlay.

The outcome:

When we were made aware of the debt our client was facing, we offered to negotiate on their behalf. After all, they’re a non-profit, with a limited budget. With EZ Energy acting as a go-between, the third-party supplier came to the table, and eventually agreed to waive 30K off of the yeshiva’s debt! What a relief!

The takeaway:

A client is a client is a client.
When any of our valued clients face an energy-related issue, even if technically we are not responsible for the problem, our doors are open. We’ll do our best to help in any situation!
