What does the Technical Assistance (TA) Provider do and how does NYSERDA provide an incentive with respect to the use of the TA Provider?
1. Under NYSERDA direction, TA providers conduct assessments of potential energy savings measures and design features to limit energy usage, peak demand electric loads, and integrate solar and day-lighting technologies. They may conduct computer energy modeling of the building project designed to standard practice (base case), compare it to a more energy efficient improved building design, and calculate the energy savings. 2. NYSERDA pays the first $5,000 of the cost of TA services and cost shares 50% of the balance, up to a maximum NYSERDA contribution of $75,000. An Applicant may request NYSERDA to direct a TA provider to prepare a scope of work and budget for review and approval by the Applicant prior to delivery of TA services. NYSERDA will increase the maximum funding amount for technical services by an additional $25,000 ($100,000 total) to identify Demand Response Opportunities.
