[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][cortana_heading title=”WHAT WE DO” font_size_title=”20″][vc_column_text]In reality, green buildings are a balancing act, and not all about energy. While energy is important, the concept of “green building” includes healthy people as well. We are committed to helping our commercial building clients take advantage of New York State’s ambitious climate protection act, and associated incentives to:
- Lower operating costs and improve bottom line profits
- Improve occupant wellness and productivity
- Enhance your corporate reputation, and ESG contributions
- Realize potential for competitive advantage
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][cortana_heading title=”HOW WE DO IT” font_size_title=”20″][vc_column_text]It starts with a discussion. Right of the bat we’ve discovered many buildings can start with no-cost, low-cost measures – for example, taking advantage of new NYS incentives for off-site renewable energy.
It continues with an understanding of where you are in the process of your energy efficiency goals. We focus on ventilation effectiveness – which is your ticket to both energy efficiency, and occupant wellness and productivity. The latter being especially important in our new era of heightened awareness of health concerns.
To optimize your results we partner with your engineering, HVAC, and electric service providers, as well as your HR and IT teams. We believe this collaboration is key to successful implementations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row layout=”boxed”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][cortana_heading title=”WE ARE YOUR GATEWAY TO UTILITY INCENTIVES” font_size_title=”20″][vc_column_text]LEADING THE NATION IN CLIMATE CHANGE
New York State’s recently passed Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act sets a foundation to address climate change. This will be accomplished through reducing energy consumption and utility bills, and by increasing access to ever-improving clean, efficient and reliable energy solutions.
The first stop – and an easy win – is the opportunity for commercial building meters to qualify for renewable energy bill credits of 10% on their electric bills. Click here for assistance with enrollment.
NYSERDA provides strong incentives for implementing the next generation of smart building technologies through their Real Time Energy Management (RTEM) program. Two of our solutions partners are NYSERDA-qualified RTEM vendors that can help you take advantage of 30% cost share on your next project.

Measurement and visualization of dilution ventilation rates, mechanical filtration, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), and humidity control are essential parameters for occupant assurance.

This means controlling energy at the point of use through effective sensors.
Smart sensor applications require three critical attributes:
- Quality sensors for accurate measurement with low life cycle costs*,
- Efficient integration for control
- The ability to gather information for future improvement, ongoing energy savings, and indoor environmental validation
New energy codes call for demand-based control of energy, yet most buildings are not taking advantage of innovative sensor platforms that optimize savings and information for future improvements. This is where we come in.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2203″ img_size=”302×450″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner layout=”boxed”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][cortana_counter title=”Metric Tons of CO² Saved/Year” value=”1233″ text_color=”#000000″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][cortana_counter title=”Sensor Areas Served” value=”921″ text_color=”#000000″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][cortana_counter title=”Energy/IEQ Reports Generated” value=”338″ text_color=”#000000″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][cortana_counter title=”Avg Project Payback in Years” value=”2.9″ text_color=”#000000″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”389″ css=”.vc_custom_1446743109199{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner layout=”boxed”][vc_column_inner][g5plusframework_portfolio style=”style_2″ title=”Our work” show_category=”yes” column=”4″ item=”8″ category=”building,house,museum,office,urban”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1446007130952{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 65px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;border-top-color: #eeeeee !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #eeeeee !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner layout=”boxed”][vc_column_inner][cortana_post title=”Company news” item_amount=”3″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_cta h2=”Questions?” txt_align=”center” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”Contact” btn_align=”center” btn_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fgreenbldgpartners.com%2Fcontact-us%2F||target:%20_blank”]We would love to hear from you![/vc_cta][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
