This year marks our 10-year anniversary of our participation in the Demand Response program. Our energy consultants NuEnergen have been with us through every step of the way and this year we earned our largest check yet! For Javits Center’s Demand Response program participation in Summer 2024, we received over $1 million – demonstrating how sustainability can be beneficial for both the planet and the bottom line.

The presentation was made by NuEnergen President & CEO Kevin Hamilton; President of Environmental and Energy Solution Keith Brodock; SVP, Client Services Brett Wu and Sales & Client Deliverables Manager Jordan Decker and received by our CEO, Alan Steel; our Sustainability Director, Yashi Dadhich and our SVP, Facilities Management, Kenneth Sanchez.

Demand Response is an energy reduction program designed to reduce the risk of blackouts during periods of high demand on the power grid, such as during heat waves. Javits Center is one of the single largest contributors to electricity load reduction when there is a shortage of electricity supply. No other city in the United States has the same power constraints as NYC, which makes Javits Center’s Demand Response program a critical part of the city’s sustainable future.

This we’re featuring one of our most unique JavitsCares donations yet – a breathtaking 15-foot, 1,100-pound crystal chandelier donated by Bluebird Lighting. Designed by Baskervill and manufactured by Bluebird Lighting, the chandelier features a one-of-a-kind art overlay at its inner center, created by Kevin Barry Art Advisor, and is elegantly draped with crystals along its outer ring. Valued at $18,000, this extraordinary piece was originally displayed at Boutique Design New York and will soon light up the iconic House of Yes music venue in Brooklyn, thanks to coordination with Materials for the Arts.

Since 2018, our JavitsCares program has successfully diverted tens of thousands of leftover materials from exhibits, such as furniture and household items, to local non-profit organizations. Materials for the Arts plays an instrumental role in finding recipients for these materials to keep them out of the landfill and put them into the hands of arts professionals, educators, and students across the five boroughs. In addition to these donations, Javits Center employees participate in volunteer events with Materials for the Arts to provide hands-on assistance to our community. Head to https://www.materialsforthearts.org/volunteer/ to learn more about how you can volunteer with Materials for the Arts.
