Program Highlights

Energy retrofits can be pricey. You may be eager to help the environment and cut your energy bills, but the initial capital costs and long payback period for a retrofit can mean that your project may not get approved. Let the BOMA CDM Program help you.


Purpose
The Program will direct incentive funds to eligible Participants, towards the capital cost of initiatives that provide sustainable electricity demand and energy reductions in commercial buildings. The program offers incentives for annual energy savings, in kilowatt hours (kWh), peak summer demand reductions, in kilowatts (kW), and reducing tons of cooling (for geothermal projects).

Target
Large commercial buildings with 25,000 square feet or greater.

Duration
4 years, ending December 31, 2010

Program Objectives
To reduce the City’s on-peak electricity demand by 150 Megawatts (MW) and a commensurate amount of electrical energy over 3 years.

Incentive Level
$800 per kilowatt of on-peak demand savings or $0.10 per kilowatt-hour annual consumption savings for non-lighting projects; $400 per kilowatt of on-peak demand savings or $0.05 per kilowatt-hour annual consumption savings for lighting projects; $250 per cooling ton (for ground source cooling projects).

Incentive Cap
Incentive payment limited to 40% of total Eligible Costs.

Payment Timing
Once our Project Completion Report is finalized you will receive your incentive payment within 30 business days.

Go Green Plus/BOMA BESt
Go Green Plus/ BOMA BESt Assessment Tool questionnaire must be completed for the Program, but building certification is NOT required.
