Simple Custom

For custom projects that don’t require energy modeling to account for interactive effects, you can get financial incentives to improve the energy efficiency of existing equipment, as well as new and replacement equipment.

  • Retrofit—When enhancing the energy efficiency of your existing system to allow your equipment to operate beyond the minimum requirements. Financial incentives are site-specific and are calculated to cover up to 50% of the total cost for retrofit projects.
  • New Equipment and Replacement—When your project includes capital improvement measures such as replacing major or critical equipment from the building or purchasing new equipment for new construction projects. Financial incentives are site-specific and are calculated to cover up to 75% of the incremental cost for new construction and equipment replacement at the end of its lifespan.
