Applications for Batavia’s GREEN (Grants for Residential Energy Efficiency in Neighborhoods) Program are being accepted April 6 through May 4. Residents can apply online at audits.sustainedabilityconstruction.com/apply/batavia.

The program offers two grant options: a standard track with 15 grants of $1,000, and an income-qualified track with 14 grants of $3,000 for households earning below 80% of the Area Median Income. Applicants must own and reside in their home, be in good standing with the City, and have no overdue municipal bills or unresolved code violations. Renters should request their landlords apply on their behalf.

Selected participants will receive a comprehensive home energy audit conducted by Sustained Ability Construction using its Energy Auditron platform, including recommended upgrades eligible for funding, projected savings, infrared thermal imaging, and other performance metrics. Audits take approximately four hours and are scheduled during normal business hours. Applicants will be notified by email in mid-May if they are accepted, denied, or placed on a waitlist, and eligible applicants not initially selected will automatically be considered for the waitlist.
