Smart Path to Energy Reduction for Property Managers March 25, 2009, Real Estate Weekly, New York, NY
Rather than a large-scale, expensive approach to energy management, by replacing antiquated boiler systems or installing triple-glazed windows or solar panels; these require significant investments and longer payback periods. The GreenSmart approach to energy reduction focuses on installing or repairing passive, more cost-effective energy reduction and weatherization measures in residents’ units that result in immediate energy savings with less investment and a shorter payback period.

Quality Conservation Services, Inc. Responds to Property Owners’ Request for a Solution to Address Rising Energy Costs August 1, 2008, QCS, Inc., Oak Ridge, NJ
Quality Conservation Services, Inc. (QCS), a leading provider of energy services and solutions, today announced they have developed an energy reduction program based on feedback from property owners for property owners.
Quality Conservation Services’ GreenSmart Energy Reduction Program® targets three key areas of energy waste and expense: Water and Sewer Costs, Building Infiltration and Penetration, and Lighting.
Quality Conservation Services, Inc. has leveraged its extensive experience in demand-side management, weatherization and custom retrofits to develop a program that immediately reduces energy related costs with short payback periods. GreenSmart is about reducing and conserving energy use and ultimately saving money.
Property owners wanted to see an approach that immediately lowered energy costs, without large-scale construction and minimal impact to building operations. “The GreenSmart program was developed directly in response to this feedback by taking the guesswork out of selecting which ‘passive’ energy improvements would deliver a swift return on investment and provide the most ‘bang for your buck’,” states James P. Maitilasso, President of Quality Conservation Services, Inc.
QCS, Inc., an energy services company (ESCO), was founded in 1997 and has successfully serviced over 185,000 residential and more than 6,500 commercial customers nationwide.
Switching Out The Lights July 2008 Modern technology helps library preserve its historic qualities.
The New York Public Library, a landmark historical building that fills two blocks along Fifth Avenue, uses a variety of systems for functional and ambiance lighting. Searching for ways to reduce energy costs, facility managers determined that changing the light bulbs could make a big difference, but the changes needed to be carefully considered to retain existing light patterns, distribution, quality and the "overall appearance" of the facility that attracts 15 million visitors annually.

Save On Your Utility Bill With An Energy Audit July 2008
ANTIOCH, CA (KGO) -- You can put some hard-earned cash back into your pocketbook and help the environment at the same time. 7 On Your Side looks at how cut down on your PG&E bill.
Most of us already know how to do it, but with our busy lives and everyday routines, many don't get around to it. Yet, it's never been easier.
We visited Gerri Buccellato's home in Antioch while PG&E contractor Ronald Hamilton conducted a free energy audit.
Hamilton looked for places where air and heat could be escaping the house -- wasting both energy and money. A cracked window, a doggie door, even a light panel are all places where energy can escape.
"And in the winter time, if you put your hand up next to a light switch, sometimes you can feel that cold air actually coming in," says Hamilton with Quality Conservation Services.
Not only can Hamilton point out places where you might be losing energy, he'll arrange to fix it for free. It's part of the PG&E Energy Partners Program.
"Last year alone, 62,000 customers benefited from this program. So it's quite widespread and every year its growing," says Tamar Sarkisian with PG&E.
The program will even replace your old light bulbs with energy saving CFL bulbs. If your refrigerator was manufactured more than 15 years ago, you could get a new one.
"They were great. He gave me information that I knew nothing about," says Buccellato. "I'm sure I'm finally saving a couple of thousand dollars at least."
Hamilton also signed Gerri up for the Care Program which will automatically cut 20 percent off her monthly utility bill. Both the Care and the Energy Partners Program are only open to qualifying residents based on income. However, everyone can do similar things to cut their own energy bills.
"If you're buying new appliances, make sure they're Energy Star. If you are, a lot of times you're going to get rebates," says Hamilton.
A simple thing like replacing old light bulbs with CFLs could cut your energy bill 75 cents a month per bulb. Weather stripping your doors and windows is also a good idea.
"You can go to www.pge.com and there's a tool online where you can actually do your own home energy audit. It gives you step-by-step tips on where to look, what to do," says Sarkisian.

Con Edison Offers More Customers Energy Savings July 2007
NEW YORK – Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. has hired four vendors to help expand the company’s targeted demand side management program. The program is designed to help customers in certain neighborhoods reduce electricity use during peak usage periods by achieving permanent energy savings.
The vendors hired are: Quality Conservation Services of New York; Public Energy Solutions of Englewood, N.J.; Free Lighting Corp. of Houston, Texas and WebEnergy.net, Inc, d/b/a Consumer Powerline of New York.
The vendors will work with Con Edison customers to reduce peak demand by 33 megawatts from 2008 through 2011.
Quality Conservation Services' goal is to reduce electrical demand by 6 megawatts in the Randall Island, Ward Island and Yorkville areas of Manhattan and the southeast area of the Bronx.
WebEnergy.net, Inc, d/b/a Consumer Powerline was selected to work in five areas on the East Side of Manhattan, to reduce peak demand by 20 megawatts.
Public Energy Solutions will focus on the Harrison area in Westchester County, to reduce peak demand by 6 megawatts. Free Lighting Corp. will work with customers in various neighborhoods in Staten Island to reduce peak demand by 1 megawatt.
Customers may save on their bills by installing energy efficient lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration, motors and clean distributed generation. Both residential and commercial customers may qualify, and there may be financial incentives for customers to offset installation costs.
The Targeted Demand Side Management program focuses on communities where peak demand is projected to result in the need for infrastructure upgrades. Targeted DSM efforts may help to defer the capital investment in those areas.
The vendors were selected from qualifying companies that responded to Con Edison’s Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in December 2006. Customers in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island are already benefiting from DSM initiatives that started when the Targeted DSM program was launched in 2005.
On The Right Track May 2007 Those traveling by water can revel in the lighting at the West Midtown Ferry Terminal. A few blocks south and east, those traveling by rail can bask in the new lighting at Penn Station. Completed in 1910, the station stretched five levels below the street of Manhattan, encompasses approximately one million sqaure feet and serves more than four million travelers a year.
