Heating & Cooling Efficiency
The Non-Residential Heating and Cooling Efficiency Program provides incentives for upgrading existing or installing new energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Customers can receive rebates for installing qualifying energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment in non-residential facilities.
Energy-efficient heating and cooling systems offer your customers many benefits including:
- Reduction in energy use that can save your customers money on electric bills
- A more comfortable working environment for employees
- A more appealing atmosphere for customers
Region Availability
This program is available in Virginia and North Carolina.
Lighting Systems and Controls
The Non-Residential Lighting Systems & Controls Program provides incentives for upgrading existing or installing new energy-efficient lighting and lighting controls, such as occupancy sensors. Customers can receive rebates for installing qualifying energy-efficient lighting in non-residential facilities.
Energy-efficient lighting offers many benefits to your customers including:
- Reduction in energy use that can save your customers money on electric bills
- A more comfortable working environment for employees
- A more appealing atmosphere for customers

Window Film
The Non-Residential Window Film Program provides rebates for installation of window film on your facility’s windows. Based on data provided by the International Window Film Association (IWFA), this can significantly lower the solar radiation admitted through the windows, offering many benefits including:
- Reducing annual energy usage by 4.7%, helping you save money
- Blocking 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays from entering through windows while protecting your employees, customers and furniture/furnishings from damaging effects caused by the sun
- Improving tenant comfort by blocking up to 84% of solar energy (heat) gain admitted through windows that would normally pass through untreated glass, while reducing cooling costs through improved HVAC efficiency
- Reducing disruptive glare and the need for interior lighting after closing blinds and drapes to block sun’s excessive UV rays
- You can receive a return on your investment in 2-5 years, depending on the window film installed and the building's existing attributes

New Construction
The Non-Residential New Construction Program provides design recommendations and rebates to qualifying facility owners for installing energy-efficient measures in new construction, addition, or extensive renovation projects. Eligible building types include small and medium-sized offices, stand-alone retail shops, and outpatient health care facilities.
This energy efficiency program offers many benefits including:
- In-depth and customized analysis of new construction project during the design phase to provide recommendations for energy efficiency upgrades
- Building energy simulation models to allow for “bundles” of measures to be tested for potential energy savings gains from interactive effects
- Financial analysis of energy efficient measure options to help with decision making in design
- A more comfortable and energy efficient environment for employees and customers
- Financial incentives that help to offset cost for installing the recommended improvements
- Energy efficient design choices that can be made at the beginning of the project which will save energy for years to come, avoiding costly retrofits later
