Case Study: Rudin Management Co. achieves reduced energy spend and lower carbon footprint with Powerhouse Dynamics' SiteSage system

Rudin Management Co. - Customer Case Study

Rudin Management Co. retrofitted a 44‑unit residential high‑rise at 130 West 12th Street in New York City and faced the common barrier of high up‑front labor and installation costs for submeters and tenant‑level controls. To engage residents, cut energy use and reduce the building’s carbon footprint without costly wiring, Rudin selected Powerhouse Dynamics and provided each apartment with a SiteSage system.

Powerhouse Dynamics deployed wireless SiteSage submeters and control devices so tenants can view per‑circuit energy use, receive alerts, and set HVAC and lighting presets via smartphone, tablet or computer. The wireless design lowered installation labor and capital costs, produced informed and engaged tenants, reduced energy spend and carbon emissions, and supports projected resident bill savings of about 25% (with NYSERDA estimates of 18–26% from submeters), delivering a payback typically under two years.
