Translate energy efficiency into higher asset value. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)'s Focus on Commercial Real Estate (Focus CRE) is New York State's new business-focused initiative to enable commercial building owners/managers and consultants to maximize their return on investment for going green.
Maximize your financial return on sustainability initiatives. Conceived in partnership with the real estate industry, Focus CRE streamlines NYSERDA’s technical expertise and financial incentives into a simple, re-engineered process. Focus CRE helps you prioritize energy investment in your portfolio, identify energy savings opportunities in individual buildings and evaluate their return on investment, given lease structures. We then work with you to develop an implementation strategy, secure financial incentives to launch the effort, and track success over time.
Guide your clients to sound energy investments. Focus CRE provides technical tools and financial analysis support for energy consultants working with commercial office clients. As consultants, you can access the Benchmarking Toolkit, advanced diagnostic tools, an Energy Scan assessment checklist, lease-based financial analysis tools and presentation materials to connect your clients to NYSERDA incentives. Focus CRE also provides cost-sharing for technical analyses, and can be used as a marketing tool to help you present the environmental and financial advantages of going green through a simple and sustainable process.
