Los Angeles has the most energy efficient buildings in the country, with over 106 million square feet of Energy Star™ certified space. But there is still much more that can be done.


To demonstrate its continued national leadership in building energy efficiency, the City of Los Angeles has become a partner of the Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Challenge, committing to support over 20 million square feet of buildings in reducing energy consumption by at least 20% by 2020.


In order to support property owners in achieving this goal, the City of Los Angeles has developed the LA Commercial Building Performance Partnership (LACBPP) – an ARRA-funded initiative that offers a suite of FREE resources to help you upgrade your buildings while saving energy, saving money, preserving the environment, and making your buildings healthier more comfortable places to live and work.


  • Up to $250,000 in FREE engineering services from top-tier independent firms
  • FREE facilitated access to LADWP and SoCal Gas rebates and incentives, as well as state and federal tax incentives such as EPAct 179D
  • FREE introductions to innovative project financing options
