DOEE seeks eligible entities to engage in early design assistance for building projects committed to pursuing net-zero energy.

This grant will produce additional case studies and build the capacity of the development community in advance of a statutory requirement. Applicants may apply for up to $20,000. The total amount available is approximately $78,000.
