DOEE seeks eligible entities to submit applications for early design assistance for building projects committed to pursuing net-zero energy, building on the success of a similar program offered in 2019. Early, integrated design is essential for buildings to achieve maximum energy efficiency, but it can be difficult to fund through existing project budgets. Net-zero energy buildings are cleaner, more comfortable, and more affordable to operate than traditional buildings. The Clean Energy DC plan calls for net-zero energy building codes by 2026. Enabling more projects to pursue net-zero energy will grow the number of available case studies and build the capacity of the developers in advance of a statutory requirement. Applicants may apply for up to $20,000 each. The total amount available for the program is approximately $100,000.
