Multi-residential Energy Efficiency Rebates!

Multi-residential Energy Efficiency Rebates (MEER) program is an energy conservation initiative that enables building owners and property managers to improve the energy efficiency of multi-unit residential buildings by providing resident education and financial rebates for electricity-saving retrofits and energy audits. GreenSaver - an environmental energy efficiency non-profit - will be managing the program.
