More information
Commercial buildings over 50,000 square feet will benefit the most from the BEA program. Your building must be in Minnesota and receive electric service from Xcel Energy.
During a comprehensive whole-building analysis, CEE engineers will investigate all major uses in your building to identify energy conservation opportunities (ECO). Your BEA report will include estimated energy savings, project costs, rebates, and paybacks for each ECO.
The BEA process starts with a brief pre-assessment meeting followed by a four to six hour on-site assessment. CEE engineers will then create a customized energy roadmap that prioritizes ECOs based on your building and budget, and will meet with you to discuss the findings.
You’ll receive up to three years of implementation support from CEE. Your staff and contractors will work with CEE engineers to implement the energy roadmap and secure the maximum rebates, incentives, and grants available to help offset the cost of ECOs.
