Applying Incentive Region Wide
Builders/developers like:• Level playing fields• Clear and consistent rules
Consistency across the region has the potential to increase uptake – it can become the ‘way of doing business.’ Is it possible for all communities to set the same standard?
It is important to create demand for EG80+ homes to increase uptake:• Work with realtors and home owners to create demand• Are there any homeowners with 80+ homes willing to serve as pilots,
spokespersons?• Ensure that there are responsive professionals available within short time frame to
complete assessments• Recognize the high performers in some way• Have a sustainable funding source
