Rebates Are Changing Fast in Denver. Here’s What You Need to Know from Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR) In late 2024 and early 2025, CASR saw a huge spike in demand for energy-related building rebates, so much so, that several programs have already been fully subscribed just months into the year. The result? Reduced rebate amounts, closed application windows, and an increasingly competitive environment for building owners, developers, and project teams trying to take advantage of financial incentives. DMA Engineering tracks this closely. Here’s a quick summary of what’s still open—and what’s already closed: ✅ Still Open: 🔹 Energy Audits – Up to $30K depending on building size 🔹 Electrification Feasibility Reports (EFR) – $1,000 per piece of equipment 🔹 All-Electric Affordable Housing (Pilot) – Variable based on selected rebates 🔹 Trainings & Passive House Credentials – $2,500 per person or $5,000 per building 🚫 Fully Subscribed or Closed: 🔻 Residential Heat Pump Rebates – No longer accepting applications 🔻 All-Electric New Construction Pilot – Closed 🔻 Commercial/MF Heat Pump Rebates – Waitlist only 🔻 Existing Building Electrification Pilot – Waitlist only 🔻 Steam to Electric, Healthy Homes, Income-Qualified Rebates – Closed 🔻 Contractor & Distributor Bonuses – Ended (as of 2/28/25) 📌 DMA’s Take: These developments underscore why timing, strategy, and expert guidance matter more than ever. Yes, there is market and global uncertainty, no doubt about it. However, if your project includes electrification, energy modeling, audits, or mechanical design, let’s talk about it and get the convo open. 📍 Whether you’re still in planning or already in design, DMA can help you build smarter, more efficiently—and more affordably. 🔗 Full CASR article: https://hubs.la/Q03fCPRm0 #EnergyEfficiency #DenverConstruction #BuildingPerformance #SustainableDesign #MechanicalEngineering
