Rebates for Energy Efficiency Retrofits

Multi-Family

GWP will provide incentives for multi-family building owners to retrofit their buildings. Retrofit incentives may include funding to hire energy consultants to perform a comprehensive energy audit of the building, and to install energy saving recommendations.

Incentives for installed energy savings measures will generally be limited to $0.08 per kWh saved over the life of the measures up to 35% of installed 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.

Energy saving estimates must be documented by a comprehensive energy audit or similar report completed by an energy engineer.
