Program Incentives

The Retrocommissioning Services & Incentives Program offers technical support and financial assistance throughout the retrocommissioning (RCx) process.

Services include:
• A no-cost building screening study to determine if the building is a good   candidate for RCx.
• Financial assistance for:
        - An in-depth RCx investigation that identifies specific energy-saving
          improvements to mechanical equipment, lighting, refrigeration, and related           controls.
        - Implementing measures that save you energy and money.
• Training building operators in maintaining improved building operations and
utilizing updated system documentation.
• A pre- and post-project energy benchmark will be established using the   Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Performance Rating system   available through the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager program.

The scope of services and total value of the incentive will depend on the building’s size and system complexity. The table below summarizes the Program offerings.
