Benefits for Builders

Benefits of building an energy efficient home:

  • It has been designed and built to standards well above most other homes
  • Better quality, better comfort, and better durability
  • Better value for today, and a better investment for tomorrow
  • Better process of inspections, testing and verification to ensure that it meets strict energy efficiency requirements

As a participating builder, you will benefit from the following:

  • Market Differentiation and Recognition:
    Builders distinguish themselves as leaders in energy-efficient construction and environmental stewardship. Homeowners recognize the brand that will provide them a safe, long lasting, energy efficient and comfortable home.
  • Financial Incentives:
    The program provides financial incentives to offset the cost of building a more energy-efficient home. The program also offers rebates to offset the costs of design, verification, and final certification of the home. 
  • Increased Profits:
    Customers want the added value of an energy-efficient home, giving you a compelling sales advantage ... meaning faster sales ... adding up to increased profits for you.
  • Qualified Rating Certifications: 
    The program works with Rating Companies to provide you, your contractors, and customers a customized, cost-efficient plan to achieve a high energy efficiency rating. Working closely with a program-qualified rating company throughout the construction process assures that proper building practices are followed to meet program requirements.
  • Reduced Callbacks:
    In reviewing systems and building practices during the construction process, expensive callbacks are reduced, saving you time and money.
  • Market Participation:
    Thousands of homes have been built to high performance standards that may only be certified by program-qualified rating companies.  
  • Technical Support:
    Quality Assurance is designed to help participants navigate changing standards and technologies. Our team works to support the efficient and cost-effective performance of all certified homes.
