Medium/Large Business Customers
The medium and large commercial and industrial energy efficiency program is available to all firm gas customers whose annual use exceeds 40,000 therms, plus larger municipal buildings, hospitals, universities, and campus-like environments as well as those industrial customers that use natural gas for process heat applications. All other commercial and industrial customers are eligible for the Small Business Energy Efficiency program.
The program begins with Columbia Gas of Massachusetts conducting, at no cost to the customer, a simple walk-through evaluation of your facility to identify potential energy efficiency opportunities.
Areas of your facility that will be evaluated include:
- Boiler/Burner Improvements
- Heating System Improvements
- Water Heating System Improvements
- Gas-Fired Process Equipment Improvements
- Control Improvements
- Heat Recovery Systems
- Ceiling/Wall Insulation Improvements
- Gas Fired Steam Absorption Chillers
- Other site-specific opportunities
What We Offer
Based on the outcome of the walk-through study, Columbia Gas of Massachusetts and the customer will determine the need to conduct a more comprehensive energy evaluation and scoping study to qualify specific energy efficiency measures for financial incentives under the guidelines of our program. Columbia Gas will pay 50% of the cost for a licensed professional engineer (P.E.) to perform the scoping study up to a maximum amount of $7,500. The customer may employ an engineer of his/her choice, or select one from a list of engineers provided by Columbia Gas.
Columbia Gas will share a portion of the cost to design, purchase and install any qualified energy efficiency measures. Columbia Gas will pay 50% of the qualified installed cost, up to a maximum of $100,000 per master meter. To qualify for program incentives, you must sign an Installation Agreement prior to the commencement of any energy-related work or improvements.
