Southern California Edison has the California New Homes Program to offer more options and incentives for energy efficiency in new multifamily construction!


Southern California Edison's California New Homes Program (CANHP) facilitates energy-efficient design and construction in multifamily housing through design assistance and cash incentives.

CANHP offers many resources to qualified multifamily new construction projects including:

  • Design Assistance to help achieve energy efficiency
