Participate

Any public building project in Minnesota having the purpose of energy-efficiency improvement is eligible to apply for Program participation. The primary activity of the project must be the purchase, installation, or improvement of public building equipment or operations. Once the application process has been completed, the project will be eligible to enter the Screening phase.

Case Studies

Case studies will be made available on PBEEEP projects as they become available. These case studies will high-light PBEEEP project outcomes, PBEEEP project framework and processes, and other project related information. Watch this space for details on forthcoming case studies.

    A Status Report showing the agencies participating in PBEEEP including a SkyView© map of their locations throughout the state is now available.

  • Third Season of New Projects to Begin Soon

    Screening has now been performed at over 900 buildings at 67 sites throughout Minnesota that have elected to participate in PBEEEP. The first group of energy investigations began in the summer of 2010 and will be completing in the next few months. The second group began in the winter of 2010/2011 and will complete in the late summer of 2011. The third group of projects will begin in the late spring of 2011.

  • Prepare For PBEEEP

    State Agencies can prepare for PBEEEP by entering utility usage data into the Minnesota Benchmarking and Beyond (B3) tool for their sites. Having data populated in the B3 system will aid in streamlining the project process and facilitate long-term energy performance tracking. Contact The Weidt Group for additional information and assistance entering data.
PBEEEP was made possible with funding from the U.S. Department Of Energy and the Minnesota Department Of Commerce, Division Of Energy Resources.
