Burbank Water and Power - LEED Certification Incentive Program
Administered by Burbank Water and Power
Burbank Water and Power offers rebates of $15,000 to $30,000 for new LEED-certified buildings, depending on your certification level (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum). To qualify, notify BWP in writing before construction starts, provide LEED registration documentation and your city building permit, and submit your final LEED certification and W9 form once certified.
You can help customers access rebates ranging from $15,000 to $30,000 by incorporating sustainable LEED-certified building practices into Burbank projects. The property owner must notify BWP prior to construction, document LEED registration with the U.S. Green Building Council, and provide final GBCI certification acceptance; coordinate with your client to ensure all notifications and documentation are submitted to sustainability@burbankca.gov at the required stages.
This rebate program incentivizes LEED-certified commercial and residential construction in Burbank through four tiered incentive levels ($15,000–$30,000 based on Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum certification). Applicants must notify the utility before construction, submit LEED registration proof and building permits, and provide final GBCI certification; rebates are distributed after successful certification verification and W9 submission to sustainability@burbankca.gov.
