Comprehensive Incentive Structure

Featuring both greater incentives and dramatically improved energy efficiency, the comprehensive plan provides whole building retrofit projects with up to a $1,200 per dwelling unit.

Comprehensive project incentives are provided on a dollar per dwelling unit basis, with two tiers of incentives based on a project’s total points. The higher the tier, the higher the incentive amount per dwelling unit. The points range from 5 to 50 and have been assigned to each measure category in the table below.

POINTS PER MEASURE

40 Points Per Measure

(High Value EE)		 30 Points Per Measure

(High-Medium Value)		 20 Points Per Measure

(Medium Value EE)		 10 Points Per Measure

(Light-Medium Value EE)		 5 Points

(Light Touch EE)
  • Windows replacement
  • Insulation (roof / wall)
  • Boiler replacement
  • Water heater replacements
  • Central cooling
  • Elevators
  • Ventilation such as energy recovery ventilators
  • Air sealing
  • Steam traps
  • HVAC electric controls (BMS, thermostats)
  • Motors and drives
