Energy Audit Implementation Incentives
Once you’ve learned how to improve your building’s energy efficiency, it’s time to take action. Take advantage of the implementation incentives that are available, and your energy conservation measures can actually pay for themselves!

New York Energy $mart^SM Loan Fund Program
Save on energy costs and on interest! The New York Energy $mart^SM Loans are a State-sponsored program for improvements to existing buildings. The loans feature interest rate reductions of up to 4% below market rate for financing eligible cost-saving, energy-efficiency measures and renewable energy projects through participating lenders. The loan term is up to 10 years, with a full 4% reduction for the entire term of the loan.

Financing your energy efficiency project with the Loan Fund Program can mean a savings of thousands of dollars over the life of the loan — and the savings in lower utility costs are all yours.

Enhanced Commercial/Industrial Performance Program
NYSERDA offers several strategies to obtain financial incentives for energy efficiency projects.

• The first tier (formerly Smart Equipment Choices) offers eligible customers financial incentives for the purchase and installation of pre-qualified electric energy efficiency measures.
• The second tier offers eligible customers financial incentives for energy efficiency improvements based upon a technical engineering analysis, such as the study completed under NYSERDA’s Energy Audit Program. The incentives are based upon kWh saved through the installation of energy efficiency measures.
• The third tier (formerly Commercial/Industrial Performance Program) offers performance-based incentives to contractors for energy efficiency projects. The incentives are provided through a Standard Performance Contract (SPC) between NYSERDA and the contractor. The applicant must be a contractor/energy service company (ESCO) for energy efficiency projects.
