What is a HERS Rating?

The Energy Plus New Homes program will award a limited number of financial incentives to builders who construct homes and multi-family dwellings (three stories or less and non mixed-use) that exceed Nevada’s energy efficiency standards for new construction.

How You Can Benefit

Public perception as an innovative leading edge energy efficient homebuilder.

1. 1.Financial: There is a financial incentive to builders that are willing to participate in the program. Builders will be paid a financial incentive of $0.32 per estimated annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) savings per single and multi family dwellings participating in the program.
   
   

2. 2.Marketing: In addition to providing homebuilder incentives, the program will also invest in a marketing program and consumer advertising campaign to further stimulate the supply of and demand for energy efficient homes providing additional marketing value to participating homebuilders who clearly identify and market themselves as a provider of EPNHP certified homes.
   
   

3. 3.Training Benefits: Builders can attend training sessions highlighting improved energy performance of the homes, promoting Energy Plus high energy efficient homes, and communicating the associated benefits of buying an EPNHP qualified home
   
   

4. 4.Technical Support: The Program implements a comprehensive eligibility review and verification process. This process provides another layer of assurance to builders that their homes meet EPNHP specifications and achieves an energy efficiency of at least 30% greater than that required by code (IECC 2006).
