Save Money & Reduce Your Carbon Footprint by Switching to Natural Gas
EIS has long been a proponent of switching buildings from heating oil to natural gas. Cleaner burning and less expensive, natural gas is an excellent option for buildings looking to substantially lower energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint. There has never been a better time to make the switch than right now. New York City regulations will phase out #6 oil by 2015 and #4 oil by 2030. Incentives and rebates are currently available from New York State and utility programs to defray the costs of conversion.
As an approved partner with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) Multifamily Performance Program and Con Edison’s Commercial and Industrial Energy Efficiency Program, EIS is up to date on incentive program opportunities and requirements. Don’t let New York City’s requirements catch you off guard.
Talk to EIS today about the benefits your building can expect from converting from oil to natural gas.
It’s that time of year again – benchmarking deadline May 1, 2012
EIS can assist your building to meet annual energy benchmarking requirements that went into effect last year. Required of all buildings 50,000 square feet or larger, the benchmarking reports are helping to build a database on energy consumption citywide. More importantly for you and your building, value-added EIS benchmarking reports provide the information you need to address the financial and environmental impact of your building’s energy consumption.
Let EIS manage compliance for your building and assist you to start thinking about how you can use this information to profit your building. Contact us to find out how EIS benchmarking services can work for your building or management portfolio.

At the recent conference of the Council of New York Cooperatives & Condominiums, EIS president Lewis Kwit led two workshops dealing with sustainability as it impacts New York cooperatives and condominiums today and in the foreseeable future. Both sessions offered practical advice to buildings wishing to develop their sustainability portfolio, presented technologies that contribute to a sustainable living environment, and discussed public incentives available for implementing these protocols. Session panelists included Harry Vyas, New York City Department of Buildings, Michael Colgrove of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Greg Elcock of Con Edison, and Isabelle Silverman of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF).
