  • Diversity in Energy Spotlight

    The environmental justice movement works to address the inequities in US environmental policy which disproportionately expose Black people to environmental hazards including close proximity to waste facilities, poor quality water infrastructure, and air pollution. Last week, we provided a primer on the environmental justice movement which discusses the movement’s origin, history, and urgent relevance today. We will continue to call attention to the environmental justice movement by highlighting organizations doing this important work. Today, we focus on the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance.

  • WE ACT for Environmental Justice

    WE ACT for Environmental Justice was founded in 1988 in response to environmental racism in Harlem. The three founders of WE ACT were fundamental in the beginnings of the environmental justice movement, which officially began in 1991. WE ACT works hard to represent BIPOC voices in an environmentalist movement that is overwhelmingly white. For more information on the environmental justice movement, read our primer here.

Woman Owned

Women Owned

When Gotham 360 was founded in 2007, there were just over 7.8 million women-owned businesses nationally. As of 2018, roughly 12.3 million companies in the U.S. are led by women, employing nearly 9.2 million people, generating $1.8 trillion in revenue. Women-owned businesses are a driving force in the modern, global economy

WBENC Certified Women-Owned Business

Gotham 360 takes stewardship of the environment very seriously. Likewise, we have built our business model around creating a lasting, positive impact on the lives of women both in and out of the energy industry. Through strategic partnerships, mentoring programs and ongoing community involvement, Gotham 360 is empowering young women to change the world.

As a proud WBENC Certified Women Owned Business, Gotham 360 embraces the organization's credo that "Diversity promotes innovation, opens doors, and creates partnerships that fuel the economy."


To be recognized as an enterprising woman is both a great honor and extremely humbling. Like many women who try to do too much, I can often feel like nothing is being done as well as it could be and that goals are not being attained. Taking the time to step back and truly review the achievements made has been very satisfying.

Mentoring Tomorrow's Leaders

In the male-dominated field of energy, Gotham 360 has made it a priority to collaborate with young, ambitious women looking to break into the business. We are proud to support and actively participate in a number of mentorship programs, geared towards women:

iMentor - Gotham 360 employees partner with high school students, assisting them through college application process and providing additional support during the first year of college.

The Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) and The Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program Entry Program (CSTEP), Sister to Sister Program at Barnard College - Each year, Gotham 360 collaborates with Barnard College students, offering interested students a chance to seek career advice and internship opportunities in their relevant fields of study, including the energy sector.

QuestBridge Quest for Excellence NYC Award - The Excellence NYC Award is a local initiative of the national QuestBridge Quest organization. Gotham 360 works with QuestBridge Quest, to create opportunities for talented, high-achieving, low-income high school students and helping them navigate through academic and life choices.

Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) - Jennifer Kearney was selected as a keynote speaker, to share her knowledge in career planning, time management and other life skills to college students.

Women are starting 1,200 new businesses per day they are inventing products, solving problems, creating jobs and supporting their communities. The impact is undeniable and the growth is unprecedented, but we have a long way to go before reaching parity.

Case Study: Brooklyn Brewery

Brooklyn Brewery

HELPING AN ICONIC BRAND WITH OUR 360-DEGREE APPROACH TO ENERGY

Issue:

Brooklyn Brewery has made sustainability a cornerstone of its business philosophy ever since they opened shop in a repurposed matzah factory in 1996. Given the increasing threat of climate change, Brooklyn Brewery looked to enhance its efforts to be as green as possible.

Result:

Gotham 360 was engaged to apply a holistic approach to Brooklyn Brewery's energy needs, where all aspects of the business were on the table for review. The brewery has already enjoyed significant cost savings, as we implement environmentally sound energy practices to their brewing operations.

Details:

Brooklyn Brewery uses a considerable amount of energy – to brew, bottle, package and refrigerate the beer, heat and power the warehouses, and maintain the back offices and tasting room. The logical first step in our 360-degree approach was to analyze and optimize Brooklyn Brewery's energy procurement strategy. New York is deregulated for both natural gas and electricity, so Gotham 360 was able to shop the energy loads on the open market – thereby allowing suppliers to compete for the brewery's business. This strategy has significantly reduced Brooklyn Brewery's energy spend and guaranteed that its energy supplies are secure for the foreseeable future. Gotham 360 then conducted a thorough audit of Brooklyn Brewery's water usage and billing, comparing the metered data with their utility bills and city sewer charges. In this way, we made sure that the brewery was only paying for the water they used. Metering and billing errors cost businesses millions of dollars collectively every year. Brooklyn Brewery is now protected from these kinds of mistakes commonly made by utility companies.

Ongoing Engagement:

Gotham 360 and Brooklyn Brewery continue to develop innovative ways to improve the brewer's efficiency and sustainability scores, reduce its carbon footprint and slash overall operating costs. We are currently exploring a PV Solar + Battery installation for the Brooklyn Brewery warehouse in New Hartford, New York. The brewery recognizes the importance of including more renewable energy sources in their portfolio. In addition to the positive environmental impact, deploying a distributed energy resource (DER) such as PV Solar + Battery affords Brooklyn Brewery the opportunity to generate new revenue streams by participating in peak shaving and demand response programs. Discussions are underway regarding other DER opportunities that will benefit the environment, as well as Brooklyn Brewery's bottom line.

Case Study: YMCA

YMCA

NYSERDA Remote Energy Manager Program Deployment with BuildingIQ

Issue:

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought creative proposals from remote energy management service providers that would utilize whole-building level energy data analytics to support energy management, provide insights on energy-savings opportunities, and carry out implementation support activities and/or services that will help customers leverage those insights to achieve energy savings.

Result:

Gotham 360, in collaboration with BuildingIQ, was awarded a highly competitive $750,000 grant through the NYSERDA Remote Energy Manager (REM) program to help the YMCA of Greater New York reduce energy consumption across their properties. Our model proposed Gotham 360 as the energy advisor, BuildingIQ as the technology platform, and YMCA of Greater New York as our customer test site.

Details:

Buildings, especially older ones, use a lot of energy. Through providing real-time energy usage data to building operators and coupling that data with an advisory service to help identify conservation opportunities, real success can be achieved in driving down energy consumption. YMCA facilities across New York City are being outfitted with BuildingIQ technology packages, and the building operations managers are receiving training on how to use the Dashboard Portfolio UI. Gotham 360 is providing ongoing training and energy management, based on the real-time energy usage data that is collected.

Ongoing Engagement:

Gotham 360 and BuildingIQ meet regularly with executives from the YMCA of Greater New York, as well as operations managers from the individual YMCA facilities in the city. Through ongoing training, open communication and an in-depth analysis of energy usage data, the YMCA is identifying achievable methods to improve operating efficiencies across their portfolio. In turn, these small changes in building operations will translate into significant, long-term reductions in overall energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs. The Remote Energy Manager (REM) program is a highly competitive pilot, fully funded by NYSERDA. The initial award to the YMCA was $400,000, with an additional $350,000 available if certain conservation benchmarks are reached. We are confident that our team will help the YMCA achieve the levels of energy-savings required for the second tranche of funds to be released.
