Q1: Can I apply if my design is already finished?
A: Unfortunately, no. IDAP is only for projects still in early design stages.
Q2: What if my building is under 5,000 sq ft?
A: IDAP is limited to buildings 5,000 sq ft and above. IDAP can be flexible. Please connect with the IDAP administrator to check qualifications.
Q3: Can IDAP help with LEED or Green Globes certification?
A: While IDAP isn’t a certification program, the energy modeling and design support often help with other green building goals.
Q4: Can I combine this with other rebates?
A: Yes! Your project may also qualify for Efficiency Works rebates, solar incentives, or electrification support.
Q5: How is energy performance tracked?
A: We use a metric called Energy Use Intensity (EUI) — it shows how much energy a building uses per square foot each year.
