The organization is offering technical assistance along with financial benefits, which include:

  • Up to $10,000 to offset the cost of a design charrette
  • Up to $50,000 for building energy studies
  • Up to $15,000 to assist in building to solar-ready standards
  • Installation incentives of $0.40 per kWh
  • Up to $40,000 toward the cost of energy metering
  • 50% of the cost of certification through the International Living Future Institute’s Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) Program.
