What is a Whole Building Approach?

Using computer simulation, Whole Building analysis provides reliable comparisons of various efficiency alternatives and quantifies the effect of improving the building’s systems.

Significant Owner’s incentives (up to $500,000, or $150,000 for SMUD projects) are available for projects estimated to exceed Title 24 or standard practice baseline by at least 10% on a whole building performance basis.  Owners meeting program requirements may be eligible to receive additional incentives:

• Enhanced Commissioning Incentive
• Certification Incentive
• End Use Monitoring Incentive

Design teams may be eligible for additional incentives and an integrated design stipend is available to the Design Team leader meeting program requirements upon completion of the schematic design.
