Renewable
Energy Incentives
There are a
number of voluntary guidelines
and required laws and
regulations which promote and in
some cases enforce the use of
renewable energy, “Green
building” and “Green”
roofing design. Many of these
requirements are based on both
prescriptive and performance
based approaches which are
closely linked to programs and
strategies that provide economic
incentives to persuade building
owners to adopt energy efficient
technologies. There are
both State and Federal Renewable
Energy Incentives, as well as
special incewntives such as LEED
and CREBs. To see a
comprehensive list of State and
Federal Incentives go to www.dsireusa.org
