Long Island Power Authority offers a variety of incentives for its non-residential customers to increase the energy efficiency of their facilities through its Commercial Construction Program. Despite the program name, major renovations of existing buildings are also eligible for this program. There are several paths to choose from in the Commercial Construction Program, each one designed to fit the needs of a particular customer.
* The Prescriptive Approach offers rebates on a pre-qualified list of energy-efficient equipment including lighting, compressed air, kitchen equipment, variable frequency drives, and HVAC equipment.
* The Retrofit Program offers predetermined incentives for lighting retrofits in existing buildings.
* The Custom Approach provides funding for more complex energy-saving measures, perhaps measures unique to the building or business, which are not covered under the prescriptive approach.
* The Whole Building Design Approach allows businesses to 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. For customers exploring the custom approach or the whole building design approach LIPA will provide up to $10,000 in technical assistance services, including consultants to help businesses choose and implement energy-efficient measures and equipment. For more complex projects, LIPA will provide 50 percent of any additional planning costs, up to $50,000. Follow all steps on rebate applications if pursuing incentives.
