Class A office tower
Industry · Office & Corporate

Class A buildings. Class A rebates.

Towers, campuses, and corporate headquarters move millions of dollars through capital plans every year. We make sure utility incentives recover their share of that spend — without adding work to your operations team.

Built for portfolios

Capital plans without rebate strategy leave money on the table — every single year.

Office portfolios run on rolling capital cycles: lighting refreshes, chiller replacements, BAS modernization, tenant build-outs. Each cycle has recoverable utility spend baked into it — and most of it gets missed.

We embed alongside your property management, engineering, and sustainability teams to surface every dollar across DTE, Consumers Energy, Lansing BWL, and Michigan municipal programs — plus federal IRA incentives layered on top.

Central chiller plant
Case snapshot
$418K rebate secured on a 22-floor downtown tower — chiller plant, BAS upgrade, and garage LED combined.
What qualifies

Six categories. Every one of them pays.

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

LED Lighting & Controls

Tenant-floor retrofits, garage relighting, occupancy and daylight controls — the fastest-paying rebate in any office portfolio.

HVAC & Chiller Plant Upgrades

High-efficiency chillers, VFDs on pumps and fans, economizers, and water-side optimization across central plants.

Building Automation Systems

BAS upgrades, advanced scheduling, fault detection, and analytics platforms qualify for custom incentives.

Submetering & Tenant Billing

Submetering deployments unlock utility incentives and create the data backbone for ESG and tenant cost recovery.

Ventilation & IAQ

DOAS, ERVs, demand-controlled ventilation, and MERV upgrades — better air, lower spend, recoverable cost.

Retro-Commissioning

Existing-building commissioning programs reimburse the engineering work itself, before a single capital dollar is spent.

Corporate campus
ESG-ready documentation

Every rebate file doubles as audit-ready evidence for your sustainability and disclosure reporting.

Office construction
New construction & tenant fit-out

Bake rebates into the budget. Not the punch list.

The largest incentives go to projects that exceed code at the design stage. Pull us in alongside your architect and MEP team and we'll model the financial impact of high-performance specs before drawings are stamped.

  • Design-assist incentives on new towers and corporate HQs
  • Whole-building modeling and code-baseline negotiation
  • Co-funding stacks: utility + IRA + LEED / WELL 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.
