COLD SPRING HARBOR, NY — Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was provided nearly $280K by PSEG Long Island for energy efficient upgrades, PSEG Long Island announced.

The lab completed several projects that qualified for rebates of nearly $280K through PSEG Long Island’s energy efficiency programs, according to the company.

The renovations include replacing 5,700 lights with energy-saving LEDs, heating and cooling upgrades, and a sub-metering project, which will allow the lab to more effectively monitor and manage its energy usage.
