Description
Low-Carbon Capital Planning Support offers cost-share incentives through the Flexible Technical Assistance (FlexTech) program to assist with multifamily building energy study funding. Portfolio-level studies enable low-carbon upgrade prioritization across one’s building portfolio. Building-specific studies focus the implementation of low carbon retrofits at one building. Studies will list recommended low carbon upgrades, provide a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis, and produce a low carbon phased implementation plan.
