The Decarbonization Price Index is live! This comprehensive resource provides up-to-date pricing and lead times of critical equipment—like Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps, Commercial Induction Woks, and 6-Pipe Heat Recovery Chillers—vital for reducing operational carbon emissions in commercial buildings. It also includes sample costs for electrical gear, such as substations and transformers, for projects requiring upgrades.
The Large Building Decarbonization Price Index is a collaborative effort between NYSERDA and Turner. This resource will help guide the industry towards more accurate pricing and lead times for critical equipment necessary to develop and implement decarbonization projects. The goal of the Price Index is to mitigate obstacles to advancing decarbonization projects, ultimately helping to combat climate change, improve health, resiliency, and deliver benefits equitably to all.
The primary goal is to foster market transparency and simplify the financial complexities of decarbonizing large commercial buildings. To kick things off, we’ve included a Technical Insight from BR+A Engineers on “partial” electrification, which explores strategies to reduce costs while transitioning away from fossil fuels.
While pricing may vary based on individual project requirements, this report provides project teams with a valuable head start and a level playing field for conducting conceptual pricing exercises. Our aim is to empower industry professionals with the knowledge and insights needed to navigate the complexities of decarbonization effectively.
