Performance Incentives Details
Multifamily new construction projects can
qualify for cash incentives that will help pay for energy efficient
design, construction and verification. The incentives are awarded after
the building has been inspected and verified by a HERS Rater.
Owners/Developers:
Performance-based cash incentives to offset the costs to design and
construct your building to be at least 15% better than minimum Title 24
requirements
HERS Raters:
Cash incentives offset the costs of hiring a HERS (Home Energy Rating
Systems) Rater. A HERS Rater is required to inspect and verify the
energy efficiency measures after installation and to submit a
verification certificate to program implementers.
Energy Consultants:
Cash incentives are paid to energy consultants to offset the cost of
additional energy performance analysis and documentation.
