Description
New York State’s NYSERDA is offering up to $5 million per hospital to fund the design, construction, and installation of low‑carbon retrofits in existing hospital facilities. The program targets hospitals in New York State that will implement scalable, market‑ready solutions such as electric heating‑ and cooling‑systems, electrification‑readiness upgrades, and comprehensive energy‑efficiency measures, with an additional $50 k possible for operation‑and‑maintenance training. Projects must be completed within three years of award, include a one‑year measurement‑and‑verification period, and demonstrate at least 75 % of total project costs funded by NYSERDA. A third‑party contractor must execute the work, and proposals must include a feasibility study, detailed budget, schedule, climate‑hazard exposure analysis, and replication potential.
• Eligible applicants: NY State hospitals (licensed acute‑care facilities).
• Funding: Up to $5 M per project, max 75 % of total cost; extra $50 k for O&M training.
• Scope: Electrification of building systems, envelope upgrades, HVAC modernization, renewable integration, and related resiliency measures.
• Deliverables: Feasibility study, narrative proposal (Attachment A), detailed budget workbook (Attachment B), climate‑hazard exposure assessment (Attachment C), and a one‑year M&V plan.
• Timeline: Proposal due 8/14/2025 (Phase 1) or 9/15/2026 (Phase 2); award ~12 weeks after submission; construction ≤ 3 years; M&V 1 year thereafter.
