PowerCon’s Energy Division In the News

The Good Audit

Habitat Magazine, June 2006

“Tom Sahagian, energy division manager at Power Concepts, is another consultant providing ResTech audits and also lecturing widely on the subject of energy efficiency. Sahagian audits many buildings where residents have been complaining for years about temperature distribution problems. Some apartments are too cold; some are too hot. Few are just right. “This is a problem in almost every building in New York City,” he explains. “It’s a staggering problem of gigantic proportions. In order for every apartment to be warm enough to meet the city code, many, many apartments are grossly overheated.”

“This is what the mayor of NY no longer wants to see in its sky: 58 million tons of CO2 permeating the air each year. Knowing that the city contains more than 900,000 buildings and that they are the major polluters, it becomes clear why the mayor is asking landlords to improve their installations by even offering incentives to those who upgrade their systems. Therefore, more and more landlords are calling energy experts – such as these guys - to survey their existing equipment to detect what can be done.”
