Energy Conservation in Buildings

The Building Energy Management and Redesign Retrofit Program is a dedicated effort by New York Telephone to conserve energy. The programs objective is to reduce building energy consumption 25 to 30% below 1976 levels by 1982. Implementation is accomplished by qualified survey teams consisting of an engineer and building operations supervisor implementing the 3 categories of BEMARR; namely, Field Operations, Redesign Retrofit and Energy Management. Examples describing each category are detailed herein. Energy Management is particularly detailed since this category utilizes the most recent technology and has a tremendous potential for savings. First year results are discussed by category and an overview of each category's impact on the total program is illustrated. An update on New York Telephones experimental solar, heating and cooling project is also included.
