Most commercial building roof replacements occur in summer and fall due to the break in wet, rainy weather.

If a heated building roof deck has no existing insulation above or attached below, Energy Trust offers an  incentive of 60 cents per square foot for added insulation of R-11 or better. If a roof deck has existing insulation of R-5 or less, the incentive is 30 cents per square foot to bring the R value up to R-20. Other insulation opportunities include attic, walls, and heated pipes. Incentives are available for both electric and gas customers in Oregon and gas-only customers in southwest Washington. Insulation projects typically pay for themselves in three to five years through reduced energy costs.

More information on insulation incentives is available here.
