Incentives for Energy Efficient New Construction

Multi-Family Buildings

New construction incentives may include funding to hire energy consultants to review designs and perform additional energy performance analysis, and to install energy saving recommendations to bring the project to at least 15% above the Title 24 standard.

Expected Savings

Incentives for installed energy saving measures will generally be limited to $0.08 per kWh saved over the life of the measures up to 100% of incremental cost or $2,000 per unit whichever is less. Technical assistance will generally be limited to $0.10 per square foot of retrofitted space. GWP estimates that cash incentives will average $1,500 per dwelling unit.

A Title 24 report or similar documentation will be required to verify kWh savings for incentive purposes for new construction projects. Maximum incentives will be determined on a project by project basis in partnership with the City of Glendale Community Development and Housing Department.
