In effort to increase the energy efficiency of New York\u2019s commercial buildings \u2014 including office towers, universities, hospitals, and retail stores, the <a title=\"New York State's Clean Energy Standard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nyserda.ny.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)<\/a> has made $36 million available through two new initiatives. <a title=\"New York Offers Commercial Buildings $36M To Cut Energy Costs\" href=\"http:\/\/facilityexecutive.com\/2016\/07\/new-york-offers-commercial-buildings-36m-to-cut-energy-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Facility Executive reports<\/a>, \u201cThe new strategies will encourage building owners and tenants to leverage the power of new technologies, real-time performance data, and more intelligent design of tenant spaces to drive energy efficiency and smarter energy use at larger scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Progress on Commercial Building Energy Efficiency has been Good, but More Attention is Needed to Decrease Waste in Several Areas<\/h3>\n<p>The Energy Information Administration conducts a <a title=\"Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eia.gov\/consumption\/commercial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS)<\/a> approximately every five years, and examines in depth a nationally representative sample of thousands of commercial buildings. Overall, energy use per square foot of floor area is down by 12% and great progress has been made in reducing energy use for lighting and space heating. These findings show that efficiency efforts can work, but also indicate that more attention is needed for areas of growing energy uses including cooking, refrigeration, ventilation, office equipment, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Increasing Interest In Energy Efficiency Can Help Johnson Controls<\/h3>\n<p>Interest and investment in energy efficiency \u201care at an all-time high\u201d according to the latest <a title=\"2016 Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency Indicator survey reveals planned investment at all-time high: 72 percent of respondents to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy investments\" href=\"http:\/\/www.johnsoncontrols.com\/media-center\/news\/press-releases\/2016\/06\/23\/2016-johnson-controls-energy-efficiency-indicator-survey-reveals-planned-investment-at-alltime-high-72-percent-of-respondents-to-increase-energy-efficiency-and-renewable-energy-investments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Energy Efficiency Indicator survey<\/a> conducted by <a title=\"#468 Johnson Controls\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/companies\/johnson-controls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Johnson Controls<\/a>.
