If you’re building on a budget, our Individual Upgrades Path offers a rebate when you incorporate up to five energy efficiency upgrades in your design.

Steps To Participate

  1. CHOOSE YOUR PATH

    Choose a participation path (Performance or Prescriptive) that fits your project and goals. If you need help choosing the right path for your project, send us an email.

  2. DESIGN YOUR PROJECT

    With assistance from an energy modeler (Performance Path) or your contractor (Prescriptive Path), design your new energy-efficient home! Send us your application form and design drawings before you start significant work on your project.

  3. GET A REBATE

    When your home is complete, we’ll conduct a free in-home evaluation and third-party airtightness test. You’ll receive your rebate and official certification shortly after our visit.
