Heat Recovery Project Development - Categories 1,2,& 4 (PON 5547)

Description

The Heat Recovery Program provides cost-share to support the inclusion of heat recovery energy conservation measures while retrofitting existing buildings. Multifamily, commercial, institutional, industrial, and manufacturing buildings and facilities are eligible, as well as manufacturers qualified through RFQL 5217. Funded activities include four categories:

Category 1: Heat Recovery Opportunity Assessment
Category 1 provides funding to document current building infrastructure, quantify rejected heat from current operations, and explore potential cost-effective measures to recover and reuse heat to reduce total energy consumption. The goal of the assessment is to provide building owners with actionable data to inform their decision-making to move forward with heat recovery project design. Rejected heat from existing building ventilation, cooling, and wastewater should be considered in the assessment, as well as the potential to incorporate thermal storage.

Applicants can receive funding for up to 75% or a maximum of $40,000 to create and deliver completed opportunity assessments. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Category 2: Heat Recovery Project Design
Category 2 provides funding to develop a technically and economically feasible project design of a heat recovery system for an existing property. Recovery from ventilation, cooling, wastewater systems, and other internal processes are eligible, as is the inclusion of thermal storage measures to maximize the usefulness of recovered energy. These designs should have the potential to significantly improve the heat recovery performance of existing buildings in New York, as determined by NYSERDA.

Applicants can receive funding for up to 75% or a maximum of $80,000 to create and deliver completed designs. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Participation in Category 1 is not a requirement to participate in Category 2.

Category 3: Heat Recovery Demonstration
See the separate funding opportunity “Heat Recovery Project Development Program - Category 3 Demonstration” listed on the Current Funding Opportunities page.

Category 4: Manufacturer Growth Initiative
Category 4 provides funding to solution providers qualified by NYSERDA’s RFQL5217 – Heat Recovery Solutions for business development services. Applicants can receive up to $100,000 to support Growth Initiative Tasks including market research and adaptation, regulatory compliance, supply chain and logistics, sales and marketing, and business development assistance. Applications from eligible Applicants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
