Under PlaNYC2030, NYC has committed to aggressive energy and carbon reduction goals. It is leading with action in its own municipal facilities, with a promised annual budget allocation of $80 million, 10% of the city's own energy budget. In our February meeting we will examine

•  How the City's municipal program is being planned
•  What processes are being used for project evaluation and procurement
•  What technologies are under consideration

In public discussions of PlaNYC2030, repeated reference has been made to Retro-commissioning , a relatively new methodology that applies a structured and instrumented approach to O&M opportunities with dramatic documented results. Because of its newness, we will consider issues of RCx integration into the process, including its impact on program outcomes, on energy audit analyses and on requirements for special skills, procedure, and timeframes.
