Since the commercial and residential building sector in our region accounts for nearly 60% of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing energy consumption in the built environment can have a significant impact on our work to address climate change.
CORE is here to help you through every step of your energy-saving project plan, including helping alleviate some of the financial burden that can come with doing a home improvement project.
Adding or improving control systems, such as:
Installing a heat pump for space heating, water heating, or snowmelt, if switching from fossil fuel or electric resistance (an electric baseboard or electric tank).*
Replacing an existing fossil-fuel-heated ventilation system with a heat-recovery or heat pump ventilation system.

Review our list of additional criteria for more information.
Heat pump clothes dryers that replace natural gas clothes dryers and are located in the commercial or multifamily common area.
Commercial induction cooktops or stoves that replace natural gas cooktops or stoves.
In a Level I audit, the auditor takes a high-level view of the commercial building’s operations and energy usage. Level II audits are a step above Level I, and Level III are a step above Level II. Level II and Level III audits are performed by certified engineering firms.
CORE can help you navigate which audits are best for your situation.
Energy modeling. The report must be shared with CORE staff.**
Engineering design peer review. The report must be shared with CORE staff.**
Commissioning when not required by code.
Rebates are available for new construction of all-electric individual homes without natural gas lines, that use heat pump technology for all space heating and water heating, and that use heat recovery technology for fresh air ventilation. Rebates can be requested once the final construction design documents (“100% CD’s”) are provided to CORE. If the building code prohibits natural gas, then the project is not eligible for a rebate.
Custom rebates are considered, at the discretion of CORE staff, for projects that do not fall within the project types listed above and that produce meaningful energy savings.
