Public Sector energy efficiency improvements are a core pillar of the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program in Illinois. All businesses and public sector programs are available to participate in the Standard Program for energy efficiency program.
While buildings that are rated 0-100 kW are eligible for their own programs for small business and small facilities public sector, they are also able to participate in the standard program for business energy efficiency if they prefer.
Public sector opportunities include:
- Fire Stations
- Libraries
- Police Stations
- Public Work Buildings
- Municipal Buildings
- Schools
- Mosquito Abatement District facilities
The Standard program is very versatile and does not require the usage of an ICC Certified Trade Ally to install the product. However, it might be helpful to purchase your products through an Instant Discount distributor such as Verde Energy Efficiency Experts to make sure the products you are installing are Design Light Consortium approved, as are often required for the incentives.
This program’s incentives, while lower than those targeting smaller facilities, are targeted toward larger facilities that often have a dedicated person to maintain supervision and staff on hand to replace lighting fixtures and advanced controls.
