Rebates for Building Decarbonization

Denver is investing millions of dollars to help developers, builders, building owners, and contractors improve our buildings. Improving our buildings leads to better health outcomes, more comfortable and productive occupants, and less pollution in our air. We are offering incentives that will reduce the cost for you to:

Install heat pumps in new construction or existing buildings
Design and build all-electric, Passive House buildings
Upskill your staff to be better equipped for green building

Heat Pump Rebates for Existing Buildings

Now is the time to start thinking about upgrading the space and water heating and cooling in your building. Save thousands when you install an efficient, electric heat pump or heat pump water heater.

Pilot Rebate Program for All-Electric Affordable Housing

This pilot will provide funding for approximately 10 new affordable housing projects. Funding will help to cover the costs of all-electric space and water heating. Some projects may also pursue Passive House design and construction certifications.

Rebates for Energy Audits

Apply for a rebate to help offset the cost of an ASHRAE Level 2 (or higher) energy audit. Rebates apply to audits conducted on buildings that are subject to the Energize Denver Performance Policy.

Rebates for Electrification Feasibility Reports

If you are still not sure about converting your building equipment to electric alternatives, you may find value in pursuing an Electrification Feasibility Report. The city offers rebates to cover the cost of this process.

Professional Development Rebates

Upskill your workforce! Ensure that your staff have the knowledge and skills to navigate the growing need for green building professionals. Get rebates to take trainings that will result in credentials that make you more competitive.

Building Electrification Retrofit Pilot Program

The Building Electrification Retrofit Program helps building owners electrify their water and air heating and cooling. The goal is to identify a diverse set of building types to understand the feasibility of electrifying in a wide array of situations.

District Energy Conversion Incentive

Building development projects can get support to provide zero-carbon thermal energy to buildings, neighborhoods and communities. Learn how you can qualify and apply today.

Steam to Electric Conversion Incentive

Buildings currently getting their thermal energy from the steam loop can get support to transition to more efficient electric heat pumps.
