Under Phase II, incentives will be made available on a first come, first served basis to Program Participants who will partner with building owners to deploy PWHPs in buildings, which the Program refers to as demonstration sites. NYSERDA will provide incentives on a per-PWHP basis and those incentive levels are $1,500/PWHP for Market Rate demonstration sites and $2,250/PWHP in LMI demonstration sites. Each demonstration site will also be subject to PWHP performance monitoring plans, which will be included in the Statement of Work for the Participant associated with each demonstration site.
