Increasing your energy efficiency is a great way to control costs. But where do you start and what are the most cost-effective investments? That’s where DRG Energy Audits can help.

DRG Green Certified Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) Customers can work with a qualified audit firm to conduct a comprehensive energy analysis of your facilities, examining everything from lighting to HVAC to building controls. The end result is an understanding of how energy is being used, the potential savings and a list of prioritized projects that have the most attractive paybacks.

DP&L Partners With DRG to Rebate up To 100% of the Audit Cost

Once the energy audit has been completed, DP&L will reimburse 50% of the cost of the audit. The remaining 50% will be reimbursed if you implement identified electricity-saving projects within 12 months of the audit, and the amount of your investment is equal to or greater than the cost of the audit. Funds are awarded on a first-come, first served, and case by case basis. Maximum reimbursement for a single facility audit is $5,000.
