Summary:
MidAmerican Energy's Commercial New Construction Program offers businesses within their distribution region incentives for energy efficient construction and design of new or preexisting buildings. Construction Incentives are paid to the building owner based upon the kWh savings modeled and verified as installed by an independent modeler contracted by MidAmerican Energy. A minimum energy savings of 15 percent beyond that required by the state of Iowa code is required to qualify. Construction incentives range from $.06 to $.19 per kWh saved and $.60 to $1.90 per therm saved. Rebate incentives also are available for natural gas savings. Design Incentives are paid to design teams who use the services of an independent building energy performance modeler contracted by MidAmerican Energy. Design incentives are determined based on the square footage and type of building. Incentives start at $2,000 for buildings 5,000 sq/ft or less and extend to $13,000 for buildings as large as 400,000 sq/ft. The independent modeler will analyze potential energy savings and produce a final energy verification report. To participate in this program print and complete the application form. Customers who participate in this program are ineligible for rebates from other MidAmerican EnergyAdvantage programs. Before making decisions, interested customers should see the program brochure, which has specific information regarding program options, procedures and incentive amounts.
