How Can Building Owners Maximize IRA Incentives with Smart Radiator Technology?
The Imminent Challenge: NYC’s Local Law 97
NYC Building owners are facing an imminent challenge. NYC’s Local Law 97 mandates a substantial reduction in carbon emissions by 40% come 2030. Such an ambitious goal becomes especially daunting for owners of legacy buildings, primarily those built before 1975. But with Kelvin’s innovative solution, “The Cozy”, paired with utility incentives and tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), there’s an affordable solution.
The City’s Carbon Culprit: Legacy Buildings and Inefficient Heating
New York City’s built environment is a significant contributor to the carbon problem, with buildings accounting for upwards of 75% of carbon emissions. A deeper dive into the city’s heart reveals that a staggering 80% of these buildings rely on steam radiators, leading the city to waste $2 billion annually on gas due to inefficient heating mechanisms.
Tapping into the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Incentives
The IRA offers direct financial incentives for retrofit projects, tax credits to encourage sustainable initiatives, and deductions for those keen on adopting energy-efficient systems. Kelvin has made its mark by retrofitting over 120 buildings and seamlessly integrating over 15,000 Cozys. The results are a testament to the effectiveness of The Cozy, boasting energy savings from 25% to 40%. Furthermore, with hybrid electrification Kelvin can provide the advantages of electrification, achieving 90% of the environmental benefits at just 10% of the regular expense.
