Energy Efficiency and MULTIFAMILY BUILDING 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 multifamily and commercial buildings in Iowa. Incentives are paid to building owners for implementing energy efficiency strategies, and design teams receive an incentive for participating.

CNC participants receive energy design assistance and a customized energy model that simulates energy use for new construction and change-of-use renovations, demonstrating which efficiency strategies would have the greatest impact and be most cost-effective. 

Alliant Energy and MidAmerican Energy offer incentives up to $1,100 per unit. MidAmerican offers a bonus incentive of 50%, up to $1,650 total per unit for qualified low-income developments.

Design team members or building owners may enroll a project in the program.
