Key 2015 accomplishments include:

• Opening its HPwES program to multifamily properties with incentives provided directly to the developer/property owner at a third of the usual rate to encourage participation.

• Issuing Certificates of Completion, a documentation of efficiency improvements, to every homeowner when they complete a HPwES project. Homeowners are encouraged to file the Certificate with other legal documents when reselling their home to improve its value.
• Expanding the reach and participation in the HPwES program by recruiting 12 new contractors, generating more than 13,000 visits to its web page, and promoting the program to industry allies and Home and Garden Shows.
