High-Performance New Home Incentive
This incentive goes to the builder of one or more homes that are built to save 10 percent or more energy when compared to a home that is built to current code specifications.
In order to receive this incentive, the builder must hire a third-party inspector, called a Rater, to evaluate the home and ensure it will save energy as projected. With third-party involvement, the home-buyer can purchase with confidence a home they know is energy-efficient and saving them money every day they live in their more comfortable and sustainable home.
This "Performance Path" is an initiative of the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA). Learn more at www.BetterBuiltNW.com.
