Critical environments. Critical rebates.

Hospitals, clinics, and medical office buildings unlock significant prescriptive and custom rebates on critical-environment upgrades. We file every one of them — without ever interrupting patient care or compliance.

Healthcare facilities run 24/7 — and the rebates available to them are sized to match.

Hospitals consume two-and-a-half times the energy per square foot of a typical office building. That makes critical-environment upgrades some of the largest sources of recoverable utility spend in any portfolio — and the most operationally sensitive to manage.

We coordinate directly with facilities, clinical engineering, and infection prevention teams to file rebates across DTE, Consumers Energy, Lansing BWL, and Michigan municipal programs — alongside federal IRA dollars for nonprofit health systems.

Hospital air-handling unit
Case snapshot
$734K rebate secured on a regional hospital retrofit — air handlers, central plant chillers, and clinical lighting combined.
What qualifies

Six categories. Every one of them pays.

If your facility is upgrading, modernizing, or recommissioning equipment — there's almost certainly a rebate program funding part of it.

Critical-Environment HVAC

OR, ICU, lab, and pharmacy air-handler upgrades, VAV retrofits, and pressurization controls — the rebate-richest measures in any hospital.

Clinical & Surgical Lighting

Patient-room, corridor, and surgical-suite LED retrofits with tunable controls. Garage and exterior lighting included.

Central Plant & Steam

Chillers, boilers, condensate recovery, heat-exchanger upgrades, and steam-trap programs across central utility plants.

Building Automation & Analytics

BAS modernization, fault detection, and clinical-load scheduling qualify under custom incentive programs.

Domestic Hot Water & Sterilization

Heat pumps, condensing boilers, and sterilization-loop heat recovery for inpatient and surgical facilities.

Retro-Commissioning

Existing-building commissioning programs reimburse engineering work itself — ideal for aging hospital infrastructure.

Medical office building
Patient care never pauses

We work around clinical schedules, ICRA protocols, and infection control — never the other way around.

Hospital construction project
New construction & expansions

Bake rebates into the capital plan. Not the closeout.

The largest healthcare incentives are reserved for projects that exceed code at the design stage. Pull us in alongside your MEP and commissioning team and we'll model high-performance specs into the capital plan before drawings are stamped.

  • Design-assist incentives on new hospitals, ASCs, and MOBs
  • Whole-building modeling and code-baseline negotiation
  • Co-funding stacks: utility + IRA + nonprofit direct-pay credits
  • Pre-approval secured before equipment is ordered

  1. No. Our discovery audit and rebate analysis are free. We only get paid as a percentage of the rebates we actually recover — if there's no check, there's no fee.

  2. We work across DTE, Consumers Energy, Lansing BWL, and every major Michigan municipal utility, plus federal IRA incentives, MEDC programs, and manufacturer co-op rebates. If a dollar is on the table, we know how to file for it.

  3. Pre-approvals usually clear in 2–6 weeks. Final payment depends on the utility and project size — most checks arrive 30–90 days after post-installation verification. We track every milestone for you.

  4. No. We handle every form, photo, spec sheet, and inspection coordination. Your contractor builds. We document. You sign one approval at the end.

  5. Anything from a single $40K lighting retrofit to a multi-site, multi-million-dollar capital plan. We've recovered six-figure rebates on projects teams assumed didn't qualify.

  6. Call us today. Many programs require pre-approval before equipment is installed — but several allow retroactive filing within 30–90 days. The faster we look, the more we can save.
