Applications are now open for the BOMA Enspire: Building Performance Excellence Initiative, a funding program designed to help commercial building owners and managers improve building energy performance and take meaningful steps toward emissions reduction and deep retrofits.
As a qualified service provider, Prism can help you confirm your eligibility and provide full support throughout the application and project implementation process.
Why participate in the program?
Whether you’re considering recommissioning, planning a heat pump conversion, or exploring carbon savings, BOMA Enspire funds the essential early-stage work that sets your emissions reduction project up for success.
The program is a low-risk, high-impact opportunity that provides up to 80% financial support (funding does not cover construction or equipment) for a range of pre-implementation activities, including:
- Energy and carbon audits.
- HVAC, envelope and GHG assessments.
- Recommissioning and controls optimization.
- Green building certifications (BOMA BEST, LEED®, ENERGY STAR®).
- Feasibility studies (e.g., electrification, heat pumps, steam conversion).
- Lifecycle costing and business case development.
- Project management and tendering support.
- Energy monitoring design and M&V strategy.
New deadline application is December 1, 2025 — funding is limited and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.
