About the Kilowatt Crackdown
BOMA Greater Minneapolis, BOMA Greater Saint Paul & Xcel Energy challenge the real estate community to reduce energy, save costs, and position commercial office buildings for the future. BOMA believes that proactive, voluntary conservation initiatives that produce positive measurable results are the best way to deter federal and state government mandates to achieve conservation goals. We’re looking to find the buildings that will save the most energy in 2012, and recognize the leaders in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area.

How the Competition Works
Participants will be asked to enter their building into the competition by filling out a short registration form. The competition will be based on the energy saved through energy efficiency improvements made in your building in 2012. All data will be pulled from Xcel Energy’s Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) participation. Xcel Energy will be responsible for pulling the data which means all you need to do is register your building and Xcel Energy will do the rest.

Then tune-up your building as you best see fit!

Awards will be given in multiple categories in the spring of 2013, providing ample time to adequately budget, schedule and implement your plans. There are 13 ways to win, but you must register your building by March 31, 2012 so don’t miss out.

You must be a BOMA member and an Xcel Energy customer to participate in the contest. Submitted buildings must be at least 30,000 square feet.

  1. FFREE advertising and recognition for your participation in the contest.
  2. Free benchmarking and consultation from Xcel Energy to increase your energy efficiency.
  3. Knowledge about hwo to find and utilize stimulus dollars, city funding and Xcel Energy rebates to get your projects completed.
