Why Upgrade Now?:

• Making your property more energy efficient can result in significant utility bill savings.
• Today’s efficient systems and durable building materials reduce operating costs and require fewer maintenance calls.
• A more comfortable, high-quality, and green building can differentiate your property and help you attract new tenants.
• Financing and incentive options bring upgrades within your budget. For affordable housing properties, energy upgrades can unlock additional financing and funding opportunities.

A Customized Solution at the Right Time for You:

The Energy Upgrade California Multifamily Program in Southern California takes a smarter, whole-building approach to upgrades, and will help you complete integrated upgrades rather than individual measures—to maximize your savings and benefits.

Three common trigger events during your property’s lifecycle offer convenient opportunities for making integrated building improvements. If you’re planning a system replacement, retrofit, or rehabilitation, the Multifamily Program is likely a strong fit for your building.
