Multi-Family Building Energy Upgrades and Low Cost Financing

The Bay Area Multi-family Building Program offers cash rebates and free energy consulting for multifamily properties that undertake energy upgrades. The program is open to multi-family buildings with five or more attached dwelling units in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. (Fourplexes and smaller properties typically qualify for the single-family energy rebate offers. Check www.EnergyUpgradeCA.org for available programs)

Improve your property value by updating to modern energy systems, lowering utility bills and reducing operating costs. An energy consultant will work with you to customize a package of improvements that matches your property’s needs and meets a minimum of 10% whole building energy savings. Select your own licensed contractors and manage your installation.

The program provides $750 per unit in rebates to help pay for qualifying upgrades. In unit, whole building, and common area improvements are eligible.
