Energy managers are responsible for creating efficient processes that decrease cost and waste—helping your business achieve leaner operations. You can lower operational costs, reduce maintenance time, futureproof your facilities, and create comfortable, safe areas by hiring or assigning a dedicated on-site energy manager.
NYSERDA’s On-site Energy Manager (OsEM) Program offers a cost-share for industrial, commercial, and multifamily facilities or buildings to hire a dedicated full-time or part time on-site energy manager. Projects may include operations and maintenance improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, water saving improvements, and more. The energy manager can be either a new permanent hire or a contractor. You may select a contractor from NYSERDA’s current list of Flexible Technical Assistance (FlexTech) Consultants or an independent service provider.
