Laura Fiori, LEED AP, BPI Building Analyst, has released the following information about energy efficiency incentive funding availability:

Virginia has just released the next round of funding for energy efficiency rebates. $250 is available toward the cost of a home energy audit (bringing the cost down to less than half price!) and 20% up to $2000 is available toward the cost of certain energy efficiency upgrades including new high efficiency HVAC equipment, air sealing and insulation, and many other things.

To sign up to reserve funding, go to the following link. When filling out the form, check all the boxes for upgrades that you think you may need. If your HVAC equipment, water heater, or refrigerator is more than ten years old, check these boxes. The audit will let you know what your priorities are. You don't have to do everything you check but you will keep your options open. You have six months to complete the work after you are notified that you have funding (you'll be notified in 7 to 10 business days),

If you have been considering an audit, this is a great opportunity. The funding won't last long. Reserve today!
