Here are the steps for retrofits

1) Call us to get started. Call 1-800-222-4335 or send us an e-mail.
2)  Scoping. We sign a letter of intentwith you. Then, working with you, we identify potential energy efficiency opportunities. We go over the preliminary numbers with you and discuss your implementation plans and schedule.
3) Energy Analysis. We provide an energy analysis report for the opportunities with the highest likelihood of implementation. The report contains specific recommendations and refined estimates of costs and savings. It also includes our incentive offer and any commissioning requirements. We pay for the study. 
4) Incentive agreement. We sign an incentive agreement with you before you sign purchase orders or make other financial commitments to proceed with implementation. The incentive is estimated based on the energy analysis.
5) Implementation. You complete contracting and installation, then notify us when each is done. You complete any required commissioning and provide commissioning submittals and documentation of your final costs for each energy efficiency measure, with labor and material itemized.
6) Post-installation inspection and incentive payment. We complete a post-installation inspection report that documents the final project costs and energy savings. We calculate the incentive amount based on the inspection results and provide you with the incentive check.

You're in charge
Remember, once you make a commitment, you remain in control. You choose the technologies and the manufacturers you want to use. You choose the contractors with whom you'll be working. From analysis through installation, we will work within your planning and construction schedules. Think of us as an extension of your own team — there to offer information, confirmation and options for your decision making.
