Multifamily Performance Program (MPP): Performance Pays

Performance pays when you approach your building as a complete system for big energy savings. The Multifamily Performance Program (MPP) is available for multifamily buildings with five or more units and four or more floors. It includes an initial whole-building assessment and creation of an approved Energy Reduction Plan, with specific executable steps intended to boost your energy efficiency by 15 percent or more. Incentives are in the form of a flat payment ranging from $2,500 to $20,000 plus an additional $600 per unit (or $1.50/sq. ft. on new construction) toward the implementation of recommendations contained in the Energy Reduction Plan. Programs for low-cost financing are also available through Green Jobs–Green NY.

The best way to start is by finding a qualified Multifamily Performance Partner to guide you through the application process.
