Commercial and Industrial Projects: Getting More Out of Your Building Budget
Commercial and industrial developers can access the New Construction Program (NCP) incentives across all four pathways. This session walks through eligibility, incentive stacking, and the role of qualified Partners.
Why You Should Attend
- See how NCP applies to office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use developments
- Understand how energy code compliance connects to incentive eligibility
- Learn what "exceeding code" means in practice and how a Partner helps document it
What We'll Discuss
- Commercial and industrial eligibility across:
- High Performance
- Streamlined
- Bundled
- Alternative Performance
- ASHRAE 90.1-2019 as the baseline and how to demonstrate performance above code
- Enhanced incentive rates for industrial and energy-intensive buildings
- How Partner Networkfirms (ESCOs, MEP engineers, energy consultants) are typically engaged on commercial projects
What You Will Learn
- How to estimate incentives for a commercial project based on square footage and pathway
- Match your project to the correct pathway and maximize the incentive you receive
- What a qualified Partner brings to your project team and why early engagement matters
- What a typical submission package looks like and common reasons for delays
