NJIT envisioned a campus-wide modernization strategy that would create long-term energy savings while improving occupant comfort and building performance. By leveraging PSE&G’s Direct Install and Engineered Solutions programs, the university sought to transform its facilities through high-efficiency technologies while significantly reducing upfront capital costs.
The goal was to create a more sustainable campus environment while positioning NJIT for future growth through smarter, more efficient infrastructure investments.
Tri-State Energy and Trane delivered a turnkey solution that managed every aspect of the project, including permitting, paperwork, incentive processing, material procurement, installation labor, and recycling. The project encompassed upgrades across 35 campus facilities and represented a total investment of more than $8.5 million.

Project Results
The PSE&G Direct Install portion of the project delivered substantial financial and energy-saving benefits:
A phased approach to building upgrades involves completing improvements in stages rather than all at once. This strategy helps minimize operational disruptions, spreads out costs over time, and allows facilities to prioritize critical upgrades while continuing normal operations.
Energy efficiency upgrades often include replacing outdated mechanical systems with modern, high-performance equipment. These improvements reduce the likelihood of system failures, lower maintenance demands, and ensure consistent performance—especially during peak usage periods.
Many energy improvement projects can leverage incentive programs, rebates, and financing options such as on-bill repayment. These solutions help reduce upfront costs and allow organizations to pay for upgrades over time, making large-scale improvements more financially manageable.
Transform your facility’s efficiency and sustainability.
