Green DMV will visit your business, perform a sustainability assessement and make recommendations as to what energy efficiency measures are most appropriate and cost-effective for the business. These low and no-cost recommendations are designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce water consumption and provide cleaner waste management systems for businesses.
Businesses must commit to implementing the recommended measures and qualify for financial assistance through our Sustainability Assistance Program. Green DMV will provide small and disdvantaged businesses that need expensive retrofits with access to capital for improvements through our Sustainability Assistance program. The business will have to meet specific financial and structural requirements to qualify for our program.
