Building owners and their design teams can aggressively
pursue options that fully integrate building envelope and
operating systems to produce a building as energy efficient as
current technology and design allows. Incentives will cover a
portion of the additional design and equipment expenses required
to create an exemplary building.
Who is eligible?
New construction projects: Commercial, industrial,
institutional or governmental projects/buildings; including
office buildings, supermarkets, manufacturing facilities,
schools, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels etc.
Additionally:
Projects with more than 50,000 square feet, more than 150
tons of cooling and 75kW of lighting load.
What measures qualify for incentives?
Electric energy-saving measures that exceed “standard
practice” (conform to standard building design practice in
New York and which generally exceed NYS Energy Conservation
Construction Code.)
