Toronto, Ontario, 9-December-2009 - BOMA Toronto's Conservation and Demand Management (CDM) Program has doubled incentives for all non-lighting projects.

Effective immediately, the new incentive rates are:

• $800 per kilowatt of on-peak demand savings or $0.10 per kilowatt-hour annual consumption savings for non-lighting projects;
• $400 per kilowatt of on-peak demand savings or $0.05 per kilowatt-hour annual consumption savings for lighting projects; and
• $250 per cooling ton (for ground source cooling projects).

The incentives remain capped at 40 percent of the total eligible project costs. Office, retail, and hospitality properties, 25,000 square feet or greater in the 416 telephone exchange are eligible for the BOMA CDM Program.

The increase in incentives is designed to reflect the value of conservation to the electricity system and to motivate building owners, managers and tenants to undertake major electricity saving projects in 2010.
