Rebates & Incentives

National Energy Rebates, Tax Credits, and Utility Programs

Across the U.S., building owners and developers can capture significant savings from federal incentives, nationally recognized certifications, and utility programs. We model performance, prepare documentation, and coordinate with utilities so you collect every eligible dollar—and avoid hidden penalties.

Key National Programs

  • §
    Section 179D – Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction

    Up to $5.85/ft² for qualifying envelope, lighting, and HVAC improvements. We provide ASHRAE-based modeling, compliance documentation, and Form 7205 support. Learn more.

  • §
    Section 45L – Energy-Efficient Home Credit

    For builders/developers of ENERGY STAR® or DOE ZERH homes and multifamily units—credits up to $5,000 per unit when thresholds are met. Ideal for MFNC projects.

  • ★
    ENERGY STAR® Certification

    Nationally recognized performance label that can unlock utility rebates and meet prerequisites for programs like LEED or NGBS. We handle Portfolio Manager setup, scoring, and verification.

  • Ø
    DOE Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH)

    Advanced performance path recognized by lenders and appraisers; pairs with 45L for higher credits and marketability.

  • $
    IRA Home Energy Rebates (HOMES & HEAR)

    Federally funded, state-run programs delivering up to $14,000 per household for retrofits, electrification, and panel upgrades. We align scopes with state rules and contractor requirements.

  • 30
    Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

    Up to 30% for solar PV, battery storage, and other eligible clean energy systems. We coordinate with 179D/45L to avoid overlap and maximize total value.

Utility Rebates, Rates, and Power Factor Resolution

  • R
    Utility-Specific Rebates

    Most major utilities (e.g., ComEd, Con Edison, Duke Energy, PG&E, PSE) offer incentives for high-efficiency HVAC, lighting, controls, and envelope measures. We build the savings case and submit complete rebate packages.

  • Δ
    Demand Response & Load Management

    Earn payments for automated load reduction during grid peaks. We evaluate economics, automation options, and M&V so participation is seamless.

  • PF
    Power Factor Penalty Elimination

    Many tariffs penalize PF < 0.90. We diagnose root causes (under-loaded motors/VFDs, capacitor sizing, harmonics), design correction (capacitor banks, tuned filters), and verify results on your bill—often removing recurring penalties and lowering system losses.

  • ₮
    Utility Rate Optimization

    We map your interval data to alternative tariffs and demand ratchets to select the most favorable rate. Savings here persist long after one-time rebates.
