States Incentives and Resources Database
This database is a comprehensive collection of incentives and resources for implementing energy-efficiency measures in a commercial or industrial facility. These incentives are often financial and are in place to reward business and residential customers for making strides in energy efficiency. The resources are in the form of analysis tools, education and training programs, and energy audits. The following link will take you to a site that will show you the energy incentives and resources in District of Columbia.
Mapped ITP State Activities
The following map provides a visual representation of ITP activities in District of Columbia. Click the checkboxes to filter certain activities. You may click the pushpin icon to show activity details. All locations are approximate. Following the map, there are lists that provide ITP activities (Energy Savings Assessments, Industrial Assessment Centers, Events and Trainings, and ITP Partner Projects) in District of Columbia.
Energy Savings Assessments
With emphasis on reducing natural gas consumption, DOE provides American businesses, factories, and manufacturing facilities with on-site Energy Savings Assessments (ESAs). The purpose of these assessments is to identify immediate opportunities to save energy and money that will lead to significant long-term savings. Gold and silver stars represent facilities that have been recognized for their achievements in industrial energy savings. The following is a list of businesses that have all benefited from ITP assessments in District of Columbia:

Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) Assessments
Industrial Assessment Centers (IACs) provide eligible small- and medium-sized manufacturers with no-cost, on-site energy assessments to identify potential savings opportunities. The following is a list of IAC training participants in District of Columbia for the past two years. A complete collection of all the publicly available assessment and recommendation data is available at the ITP IAC database.
