Next Steps:

All we provide is information. We do not make physical changes to the equipment or utility systems of our client’s sites. Our audit program provides information about recommended upgrades and cost information in terms of simple payback, lifecycle costs, return on investment (ROI), and net present value (NPV).

Utility companies often offer audit and upgrade services with a cost-matching program where they fund part of the upgrade up to a certain annual dollar amount. This can create a problem because the annual allotment may be so low that the projects must be split over several years, and the programs are subject to changes or cancellations and may only apply to certain building systems instead of a comprehensive whole-building view.

Government Tax Incentives and Related Programs:

Information about applicable commercial building incentives, including the Inflation Reduction Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Section 48 will be provided as part of deliverables in addition to information about other regulations such as the Energy Policy Act of 2020.

We provide the information you need to contact utilities and other entities about third-party funding and tax rebate opportunities.
