Building Better Homes Program (PON 5765)

Due Date:  Continuous

Description

The Building Better Homes Program is intended to expand the capacity of builders and developers to construct and market zero emissions (all-electric) single-family homes and townhomes, with enhanced support available for homes that will rely on geothermal systems to support space conditioning and domestic hot water production. For the purposes of this Program, zero emissions homes are defined as newly constructed and exceptionally energy-efficient homes that will not use fossil fuels for any purpose other than for emergency back-up electricity generation.  Financial incentives are offered for the following activities:
  • Zero Emissions Home Design or Re-design,
  • Passive House-focused training for the Applicant’s staff and their subcontractors,
  • The new construction of single-family homes and townhomes that meet the requirements as detailed throughout this PON will be eligible to request a per home incentive,
  • Support for the marketing and promotion of the zero emissions new homes that are being designed and constructed by the Applicant.
Based on the Applicant’s commitment and NYSERDA’s approval, an Award Letter will be issued to the Applicant to confirm the requested incentives will be available to the Applicant once the Program requirements have been met, and for the specified period. 

Payment of those incentives will be available once the Applicant has submitted the deliverables associated with that incentive and NYSERDA has completed review and approved those submissions.
