Benefits of Participation

This energy efficiency program offers many benefits including:

• In-depth and customized analysis of new construction project during the design phase to provide recommendations for energy efficiency upgrades
• Building energy simulation models to allow for “bundles” of measures to be tested for potential energy savings gains from interactive effects
• Financial analysis of energy efficient measure options to help with decision making in design
• A more comfortable and energy efficient environment for employees and customers
• Financial incentives that help to offset cost for installing the recommended improvements
• Energy efficient design choices that can be made at the beginning of the project which will save energy for years to come, avoiding costly retrofits later

Participation is Easy
