Additional Details
Free energy-saver lighting improvements are offered by the Lighting Express Project under a multi-million dollar contract with Con Edison to reduce summer peak demand in selected Manhattan networks. Target networks generally cover zip codes 10001, 10018, 10019 and 10036, between West 31st Street and West 58th Street.
Participant must be a Con Edison account holder or a tenant of an account holder, with lights used during summer weekday afternoons in those networks.
No minimum or maximum size and no payment is required.
Typical free installs include replacing exit and emergency signs, incandescent lights, HIDs and metal halides, and certain types of fluorescent fixtures.
Typical savings are 50% to 75% of energy costs for lights replaced, plus signficant maintenance savings.
Sites must be available for Con Edison inspections before and after installations.
Participants are enrolled on a first-come first-served basis until October 31, 2006 or until funding is exhausted.
