The Office of Energy Independence is re-launching the Iowa Energy Bank as the BEST program for Iowa’s buildings. The BEST program provides financing, technical assistance, and program management to install energy efficient and renewable energy projects. Since 1988 the BEST program, formally the Iowa Energy Bank program, helped Iowans save over $200 million in energy costs.

Through the BEST program, the Office of Energy Independence offers a package of financing, consulting, and tracking for building improvements to make Iowa buildings the BEST they can be.

Financing. A team of experts find competitive rates and financing to fund energy and renewable technology projects.
