New Construction & Major Renovations
Incentives, ideas and expertise for building energy efficiency into your project.
Everyone is looking for value more than ever these days. We can help you create that value—and long-lasting energy savings—in all your project designs. We can help offset the incremental construction and design service costs associated with the inclusion of more energy-efficient equipment and systems. Engage with us early (during concept and early schematic design) to take advantage of enhanced incentives.
Whether your project is large or small, new construction or major renovation*, Rhode Island Energy helps you elevate building performance, comfort, health, and, of course, long-term energy savings:
Path 1: Net Zero and Low Energy Use Intensity (“EUI”) Buildings
Receive expert net zero building technical assistance and the highest new construction/major renovation project incentives available. Achieve Energy Use Intensity ("EUI") targets for your building and save on energy costs. We work with you all the way through a post occupancy period to make sure the building is designed, built and performs at the levels you expect.
Path 2: Whole Building Streamlined
This pathway offers incentives for less complex energy efficiency projects that won't be pursuing a Net Zero or Low EUI design..

Call 1-855-RIE-1108 to discuss enhanced incentives and which path is right for your new construction or major renovation project.
*A major renovation would qualify if the scope is such that occupancy is not possible during construction and where scope includes at least 3 of the following 5 systems: 1) Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning, 2) Domestic Hot Water, 3) Lighting, 4) Building Envelop, and 5) Process Equipment.
**Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is calculated as kBtu per square foot per year. It is a way to compare the energy use of a building against other and against itself over time.
