Panel: Utility and Stakeholder Collaboration for Better Homes
Many programs and incentives have been implemented with the intent of influencing the performance and energy efficiency in new homes.
Some have changed the market place while others have not had a lasting impact. Energy raters continually work with builders and their subcontractors. What
are the elements of successful programs, initiatives, and relationships? This session is for people who want to increase the impact of their work with
builders and their trade contractors.
By attending this session participants will
1. Discuss elements of program
design and implementation, and their effect on the outcome
2. Explore the rater / builder relationship
3. Hear a builder’s perspective of energy efficiency programs
