The first few days of the project we tried to speak to a Con Edison representative to discuss rate reduction and we were directed to web sites that explained their billing structure for usage and demand and energy delivery. I was told by Con Edison that there was no representative or energy audit department that meets with their customers and that they had eliminated that service 10 years ago. We then down loaded many pages of information on how Con Edison uses different ratings to bill there customers and found their explanation very confusing. On November 11 i had a meeting at 9 east 71 st street with Louis Schone Source One to see if his company was interested in helping our property in reducing energy costs. He stated at that meeting that Source One was interested in this project and could reduce energy costs 2 to 3% by shopping 9 East 71st electric load to various suppliers. Source One stated more importantly that they felt by conducting a comprehensive energy assessment to see how 9 east uses its power they can then define the energy conservation measures that can reduce consumption and recommend up grades to make the property more efficient. The cost of the Source One survey is $10.000 on 12-06-10 Source one sent a Comprehensive Energy Assessment proposal. On November 30th I called a meeting with Siemens they are the technology company that designed the computer control Building management system that controls and operates all the functions of the HVAC system at the property. On that day I had a meeting with Bradley Rickert account executive and Stephen Driver Senior energy engineer we discussed system mechanical up grades control BMS upgrades and automated systems to control demand and the reduction of consumption. I am currently waiting on up grade proposals and a comprehensive Energy Assessment proposal from their energy engineer. We had also a phone conference that day with Harry Bella explaining how Con Edison bills their customers and a lesson on demand charges by Steven Driver. Siemens Energy Ace.Pcgment Proposal is due on 12/10/10. Today I am going to meet with AD Winston to discuss mechanical up grades , Chiller , Flat plate free cooling system for winter operation. On thursday 12/09 /10 I have a meeting with Leonard Powers Steam Control specialist to discuss better controls for steam hot water system and Steam heating system I will forward all proposals. The following is a list of contact information Sorce One Louis Schoen , Siemens Steven Driver Bradley Richert AD Winston. Mauro Palladino Leonard Powers I hope this helps on making decisions on proposal approvals to move orwar on this project .Richard Barnett. EFTA00709290
