PRESS RELEASE

Brooklyn Law School joins demand response program
Buffalo, New York, and Brooklyn, New York, Oct. 16

Energy Curtailment Specialists, the largest private demand response provider in the country, headquartered in Buffalo, New York, announced that Brooklyn Law School recently joined their demand response program known as Operation Save New York.

Through their program participation, Brooklyn Law School, located in New York City, will become more energy conscious by reducing electric usage when the grid is forecasted to be unstable.

“By enrolling in Operation Save New York, we are creating a positive impact on the environment and our community and focusing our students on becoming more energy conscious,” said Joan Wexler, Dean of Brooklyn Law School.

Operation Save New York increases grid reliability by offering monetary rewards to businesses for conserving electricity during electric shortage events and shifting electric use from peak periods to off-peak hours.  Demand response programs currently have the ability to lower total electric demand by over three percent in New York State.

Brooklyn Law School will receive notice of periods when the electric grid is forecasted to be unstable and they will respond by reducing chiller set points, running the HVAC system at a lower setting a day ahead of time and turning off lighting, elevators and non-critical equipment.

During periods when no events are called, like this past summer, members are still paid for being on stand-by.

“We are very excited to work with Brooklyn Law School and are honored they have chosen us,” said Glen Smith, president, chief executive officer and co-founder of ECS.
