The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and support clean energy and economic development. Eligible building types include privately owned commercial, industrial, multi-family, community, or non-profit buildings; K-12 school portfolios managed by Local Education Agencies; and local government public facility portfolios.
