AEA's Commercial Energy Audit Program

AEA Launches 2nd Round of Commercial Energy Audits!

(Anchorage) – The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) announced the opening of a second application period for its Alaska Commercial Energy Audit Program. The open application period runs from February 13, 2012 to March 28, 2012.  

Owners of eligible commercial buildings throughout Alaska may be reimbursed up to $7,000 for a qualifying energy audit. The program is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and it is expected that 2012 funding will allow for 100 to 150 commercial energy audits.

The first commercial audit program in 2011 identified over $2.5M of cost-effective annual energy savings in just 94 commercial buildings totaling 1.3M square feet. Results will be available soon on the Alaska Energy Efficiency Map (to be launched at the end of the month).  

The Alaska Commercial Energy Audit Program will reimburse eligible applicants the cost of an energy audit up to a specified dollar limit on a per square foot basis. Eligible buildings are commercial buildings, including non-profit owned, up to 160,000 square feet. 

AEA must receive completed applications by 4:30 PM Wednesday, March 28, 2012.
