Case Study: L+M Development Partners achieves 29% energy reduction with Bright Power

Case Study: Arverne View

The customer, L+M Development Partners, faced significant challenges at their Arverne View multifamily affordable housing complex in Queens, NY. The 40-year-old buildings were suffering from structural separation, which led to pervasive air and water leaks, high operational costs, and poor tenant comfort. L+M engaged vendor Bright Power to develop a holistic sustainability strategy to address these deep-seated energy problems.

Bright Power implemented a comprehensive solution that included designing and installing a 36 kW solar PV system and 36 kW battery storage, overhauling the ventilation system, installing a new condensing boiler, and completing extensive lighting and water retrofits. This work resulted in a 29% energy reduction, $650,000 in first-year savings, and $1,200,000 in NYSERDA incentives for the owner, greatly improving resident comfort and building longevity.
