Multifamily Dwelling Program

If you are the owner or manager of a multifamily building with 5 or more units under one contiguous roof, contact us about energy-saving upgrades to both tenant and common areas.

Common Area Improvements*

You can lower your energy bills and protect the environment by taking advantage of energy-efficient upgrades at a fraction of the investment cost. DTE Energy is offering substantial co-pays to assist you with making improvements in the common areas of your multifamily building. The amount of the co-pay will be based on the operating hours, existing and proposed equipment. Common area upgrades include:

• Energy Efficient Lighting
  • High Performance T5 and T8 lighting retrofits
  • Hard wired CFL Fixtures
  • LED Exit Signs
  • Lighting controls and sensors
  • Parking lot and safety lighting

• Energy Efficient Gas upgrades
  • Pipe wrap insulation
  • Boiler tune up
  • Steam trap repair/replacement
  • Boiler controls

In-Unit Improvements*

With the in-unit incentives program, residents of your multifamily building can benefit from installation of energy-efficient natural gas and electric upgrades that save energy and water. Energy efficiency improvements include the following measures:

• ENERGY STAR^® compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), which use up to 75% less energy than incandescents
• Low-flow showerheads
• Kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators
• Pipe wrap insulation
