Residential, Commercial/Institutional & Industrial Technical Work Group

All documents prepared for the Residential, Commercial/Institutional & Industrial (RCI)  Technical Work Group (TWG) were posted here during the NYCAC process, along with other documents of interest. Typically the TWG met via teleconference. Members of the public could attend any teleconference or meeting. The Center for Climate Strategies (CCS) facilitated these calls and prepared various documents for the calls.

Background Materials
 
As part of an earlier effort, the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) undertook economic analysis of a number of technologies and best practices  that could reduce greenhouse gases. Called the "Cost Curves Project," the information from these analyses -- done across multiple sectors -- can provide useful information for the NYCAC Technical Work Groups. A separate document (memorandum) explains the methodology used in quantifying the costs/cost savings and emission reductions. The Center for Climate Strategies assisted NYSERDA in the "Cost Curves Project."
