Energy Efficient Buildings
Estimate your energy savings and rebate dollars early with this prescriptive approach
Overview
Energy Efficient Buildings is a prescriptive approach to obtaining rebates for new construction, major renovations and additions. By reviewing your energy savings opportunities early in design, projects can begin counting on energy savings throughout the life of the building.
Benefits
Energy Efficient Building offers you the opportunity to review energy-efficiency measures for your new or renovation building project, and gives you an idea of what types of rebates Xcel Energy can offer to help offset costs of additional conservation recommendations. It also provides a customer friendly “one-stop-shop” where you can put all your efficiency measures into one workbook, and fill out just one application.
Who Qualifies
Energy Efficient Building offers you the opportunity to review energy-efficiency measures within the building and gives you an idea of what types of rebates Xcel Energy can offer to help offset costs of additional conservation recommendations.
- Minimum Project Size: Any size building may apply to the Energy Efficient Building program, but is intended for buildings with square footage lower then 20,000 square feet
- Timing: Projects can take advantage of the Energy Efficient Building program any time prior to construction, however, are encouraged to review the process and potential rebates prior to the completion of construction documents
- Rebates: Amounts vary depending on equipment purchased and installed. Non-prescriptive measures are up to $400 per kW and $5 per Dth.
Is your project greater than 20,000 square feet? The Energy Design Assistance program may be right for you.
