Gas Residential New Construction
Program Description
The Residential New Construction Program is designed to promote the construction of energy efficient single- and multifamily homes by providing incentives to new home builders to install high-efficiency, natural-gas-fired space and water heating equipment and more robust thermal envelope measures. The Residential New Construction program takes a comprehensive approach to overall efficiency and is designed to minimize the lost opportunities for energy savings in each structure. The program offers flexibility by allowing each builder to participate through either a prescriptive path — in which the builder must install a specified set of energy-efficiency measures — or a performance path, in which the builder must meet specified energy performance targets. Qualifying homes under either path may be eligible to receive Energy Star® new home labels.
