ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to certify new multifamily buildings to lower utility costs and increase property marketability through this program.
This program provides a certification for owners who are building or performing major renovations on multifamily residential properties.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for owners who are involved in the construction of new multifamily buildings or those performing gut-renovations on existing ones.
What you get
By participating, you receive official certification for your building. This can help increase the marketability of your property and lead to lower utility costs for the building.
What it costs you
To succeed, you will need to pay for third-party testing and formal verification of your building systems to ensure they meet the required standards.
The catch to know
You must be enrolled in the program before construction begins. You cannot apply for certification retroactively once the building is already finished.
How to apply
- Review the specific program requirements online.
- Ensure your project is enrolled before you start construction.
- Arrange for third-party testing of your building systems.
- Follow the verification process through the official portal.
