Energy Assessment and Study Assistance Programs

  • Xcel Energy’s Multi-family Building Efficiency program offers a free, whole-building energy audit, free consulting support and, some on-site installations, resulting in incentive-based solutions to help multifamily building managers address whole-building energy efficiencies.
  • Xcel Energy’s Turn Key Services is a low-cost, ASHRAE Level 1 energy assessment that includes a detailed energy report, a recommissioning study for buildings 5,000 – 75,000 square feet, and/or free project implementation assistance and bundled rebates for efficiency projects.
  • Xcel Energy’s Recommissioning Study rebate provides study funding up for to 75% of the cost (max. $25,000), rebates for implementing energy conservation opportunities, and fast-track rebates for improvements based on a non-Xcel Energy study. Tune up existing functional systems to run as efficiently as possible through low- and no-cost improvements.
