NYSERDA Construction Programs

The New Construction Program (NCP) can provide assistance to incorporate energy-efficiency measures into the design, construction, and operation of new and substantially renovated buildings. These measures are designed to save energy through reduced electric demand, and therefore reduce building operating costs.

The Capital District Rail Station in Rensselaer will use 20% less energy per year than a building designed to meet current energy standards

Program Highlights

• Technical Assistance is available to help evaluate energy-efficiency measures and provide guidance to your design team on incorporating new and emerging energy-efficient technologies into your building.
• Funding is available to offset the additional costs associated with the purchase and installation of approved equipment.
• Assistance may also be available for commissioning services, advanced solar, daylighting technologies, and green building opportunities.
