Starting this month, the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability will launch a limited-time program to help small businesses make energy-efficiency improvements to their buildings. This Bucks for Buildings rebate will cover up to 50 percent of the cost of eligible energy-efficiency improvements in buildings up to 50,000 square feet in total size. Non-profit organizations are eligible for even higher incentives. Eligible improvements include insulation, heating and cooling equipment, lighting and controls, and food service equipment.
Intelekia’s mission is to provide legal services for businesses interested in sustainability initiatives, including programs like Bucks for Buildings; we are pleased to offer our services to any property owner who would like assistance applying for this program.
