new construction projects are eligible.
We help you weigh your technical and financial options. You can choose a Rocky Mountain Power Energy Efficiency Alliance vendor
or an independent energy consultant for technical expertise.

There are even more benefits
Not only do you save money, you can also improve equipment reliability and your work environment. That can increase comfort
and worker productivity. According to betterbricks.com,
- Only 2 percent of the 30-year costs of a building are in its initial construction. Another 6 percent is expended on operations
and maintenance and the remaining 92 percent are labor costs.
- In a typical office building, energy costs run about $2 per square foot while salaries and benefits are $130 per square foot
or more. Even slight changes in productivity can have a large effect on the bottom line.
