Deep Retrofit
Cut your energy use in half with incentives and support from our energy experts.
A deep energy retrofit takes a whole-building approach to achieve larger energy savings than conventional retrofits—generally a reduction of 50% or more of the building’s total usage. To hit that 50% mark, you'll need to tackle your usage from every angle. From improving weatherization and investing in efficient technologies to engaging occupants; no energy saving stone can be left unturned.
Highlights
- Assess your building's complete energy profile and create a plan to dramatically decrease usage
- Annual competitive application process for businesses seeking energy savings of 50% or more
- Receive financial assistance of up to $160,000 per building
Deep Retrofit for Businesses
Efficiency Vermont facilitates an annual competitive process to support deep retrofit projects. Using real-time measurement to evaluate each participant's progress, we look at each facility as a whole, measuring all energy usage across fuel types. Selected recipients are paired with a dedicated energy consultant and receive financial assistance of up to $160,000 per building.
Selected participants can expect to:
- Partner with employees, contractors, design professionals, and their Efficiency Vermont energy consultant to make sure you have a clear and achievable path to 50% energy savings
- After completing a detailed plan, have up to one year to implement the work
- Once projects are complete, work with Efficiency Vermont to measure and verify energy savings
- Located in Vermont, outside of Burlington, and not a Vermont Gas customer
- Commercial, industrial, or mixed use (commercial/multi-family) space that is greater than 5,000 square feet
