Whole Building Design Incentives

Whole Building Design Incentives offer building owners with nonresidential projects a complete approach to energy efficiency enhancements and high performance building design. Whether constructing or expanding a building, changing a space, or adding a new load, our program can help reduce energy consumption.

These financial incentives encourage building owners, architects and engineers to help out-perform current energy standards in lighting and mechanical systems for new construction and major renovation. Projects that demonstrate energy efficiency savings following the performance rating method from the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 energy standard may be eligible for incentives based on the simulated annual energy savings.  Incentives are reserved up to 18 months.

Within the Whole Building Approach is an option for projects to receive Technical Assistance Incentives to help pay for your energy model.  These Incentives cover 50 percent of the cost of energy modeling up to $3,000 and are paid as follows: half of the incentive is paid upon reservation of the project and the balance is paid after the installation.

Systems Approach Incentives

Systems Approach Incentives are for smaller projects for which modeling is not being performed and those that are further along in the design process where only minor design changes are made. Pre-determined incentives are offered to optimize energy efficiency of specific equipment: lighting, HVAC, process electric gas, water and heating.
