How does your company benefit from participating in the CEA program?

CEA provides one-stop convenience for comprehensive energy efficiency and clean energy technology services. Working with Prism Consulting, Inc., we identify ways to make your business more energy efficient and save money on your energy bills, while taking full advantage of all available government and utility incentives.

CEA helps you save energy by upgrading to high efficiency lighting and exploring other cost saving measures such as replacing appliances and heating/cooling equipment; cutting heat loss; conserving water; and the installation of renewable or other clean energy technologies. We work with landlords and tenants to find fair, practical ways to share the costs and the benefits of investing in energy efficiency improvements.

CEA is a city-wide program that provides unique publicity throughout Cambridge and beyond, positioning participants as community leaders and business innovators.

CEA has arranged an optional, simplified loan process with pre-selected banks for small business participants wishing to finance their projects. Click here for more information on business loan options.

CEA is also working with the City of Cambridge Facade, Signage and Lighting Improvement Program. This program provides matching reimbursement grants for pre-approved facade improvements, which may include lighting upgrades and other energy efficiency measures in addition to restoration of architectural details, better windows and doors, and well-proportioned signage.
