We Help You Go Green

High efficiency, sustainably designed buildings are good for business and the planet. We can help make your commercial new construction or major renovation project more energy efficient and environmentally friendly with cash incentives for energy modeling, commissioning and high-efficiency equipment.

We offer incentives through four different program tracks:

Standard Track

The Standard Track provides prescriptive incentives for purchasing and installing energy efficient equipment.

ENERGY STAR® Track

The ENERGY STAR Track offers incentives to eligible new building projects that use the Environmental Protection Agency’s national energy performance rating system to achieve the ENERGY STAR building performance certification.

Custom Track

The Custom Track provides incentives for building systems that result in energy savings as compared to a code minimum building of the same type and occupancy.

USGBC LEED® NC Track

The USGBC LEED® NC Track provides incentives for projects registering for certification with the US Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED® NC program.
