Whether you’re a building owner or contractor, you have access to free and innovative consulting services and incentives.
New Construction
The 2018 California Advanced Homes Program serves to encourage residential new construction builders to meet goals set forth by the California Public Utilities Commission (CpuC). First, to prepare for future energy code changes and build homes better-than-code. Second, for all new homes to reach Zero Net Energy (ZNE).
2018 CAHP program will open April 23, 2018 and accept new applications as long as funding is available.
