The District also addressed a sizable number of projects through an Energy Savings Improvement Program (ESIP), part of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program incentives. Energy audit recommendations included LED lighting; retro-commissioning; improved energy management systems that operate the buildings in the most efficient and comfortable manner; and the replacement of system mechanicals. ESIP is a financing mechanism that allows public entities to pay for capital upgrades with the energy cost savings generated by installing energy conservation measures (ECMs) without any tax increase to the public.
