Get An Energy Audit for your Business
If your business location needs energy upgrades but you’re unsure of what the building needs or where to start, there are three valuable opportunities for building assessments available:
Green Jobs Green New York
Green Jobs Green New York provides a comprehensive energy study following a site visit and energy analysis. A nominal fee depends on the size of your business. Small commercial and not-for-profit organizations qualify.
FlexTech Program
FlexTech Program, another energy study option, is great for businesses with multiple buildings and/or of larger size. If you’re looking for a more in depth assessment, FlexTech provides an energy assessment plus helps you create a 5-10 year energy plan. This program has a 50/50 cost share.
Agriculture Energy Audit Program
Through the Agriculture Energy Audit Program, NYSERDA will cover 100% of the cost of an energy study for NYS farms. NYSERDA has additional programs and incentives specific to NYS farms.
