Express Energy Design Assistance (eEDA) is a streamlined online modeling tool to help project planners and design teams quickly evaluate whole-building energy efficiency incentives for multifamily, warehouse, and retail projects starting at 5,000 square feet. eEDA provides design assistance on your schedule and makes energy efficiency decisions easy.
Spend your time wisely. Support your project’s savings goals and budget with financial incentives tailored to your building design.
With eEDA, Focus on Energy provides online access to build your own energy model and unlock financial incentives. Just like our standard EDA offering, you’ll receive a free, customized, whole-building analysis of energy-saving design options.
It’s easy, and our New Construction Online Tool guides you directly to eEDA for qualifying projects. If your project is not a candidate for eEDA, the Tool will automatically direct you to other Focus on Energy incentive offerings.
With basic project information on-hand, you’ll be on your path to a whole-building energy analysis and customized incentive with Express EDA. The following will be needed to begin a project:
Once you’ve entered the project information, the online energy analysis results will be shown on-screen in minutes. The energy efficiency selections provided are understood to be project goals. Actual energy savings will be calculated during project verification to determine the final incentives payment.
Upon receipt of projected results, the project team will continue with building design and construction. Meanwhile, Focus on Energy will prepare documentation to illustrate the efficiency strategies needed to achieve your projected savings. You will then receive, via email, the customized list of strategies to be confirmed. At the verification stage, whether you’ve met or exceeded your goal, the final incentive payment will be based on actual savings.
