Efficiency Maine's Multifamily Efficiency Program offers incentives to multifamily residency building owners for improving energy efficiency. Residencies must have 5 or more apartment units to qualify for this rebate. There are two options under this program: the prescriptive path and the custom path. Under the precriptive path, a multifamily program partner is selected to install the chosen efficiency measures. Under the custom path, a program partner is first selected to complete a whole-building energy consumption assessment. The partner will then establish an Energy Reduction Plan to reduce total building energy consumption by a minimum of 20%. A multifamily program partner is then selected to perform a walk-through energy audit and begin implementing the Energy Reduction Plan.

This Program is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Better Buildings Program. The DOE has awarded over $500 million in federal funds to more than 40 states, local governments, and organizations to administer local programs targeting a variety of building types. Combined, these local programs are expected to improve the efficiency of more than 170,000 buildings through 2013 and save up to $65 million in energy costs annually.
