Make Energy Efficiency Part of Your Next Design

The Commercial New Construction (CNC) program provides complimentary energy design assistance and financial incentives to help offset the cost of implementing energy-efficient strategies for commercial and multifamily buildings in Iowa. Incentives are paid to building owners for implementing energy efficiency strategies, and design teams receive an incentive for participating.

Energy-efficient buildings use less energy and cost less to operate. Participants receive energy design assistance and a customized energy model that simulates energy use for the project, demonstrating which efficiency strategies have the greatest impact and are most cost-effective. Through a short series of meetings, strategies are selected for implementation by the owner and design team.

Design team members or building owners may enroll a project.

Increased multifamily housing incentives are now available.
