Gas Residential New Construction
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 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.
