Energy Smart Design™ Office

We are offering a financial incentive for the EnergySmart Design™ Office.

Energy conservation measures that are not implemented in new buildings are lost opportunities because most of the savings cannot be captured cost effectively as retrofit measures. The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) considers commercial new construction a hard-to-reach market. Prescriptive incentives for other commercial building types are being developed.

EnergySmart Design (ESD) Office saves between 10 and 20 percent of the energy used by a building built in accordance with energy codes.

The ESD Office prescriptive package incentive of up to $0.50 per square foot of eligible office building does not require building energy performance modeling.

ESD Office is aligned with the 2005 Energy Policy Act lighting tax deduction, the Advanced Building Core Performance Guidelines, and the LEED prescriptive track. After the first year of occupancy, buildings should qualify for an Energy Star® label. (The Energy Star label is based on actual performance).
