The NIH Homes team is excited to share that we won an award from the High Efficiency New Homes Program for our performance in 2019! We were one of the top-performing builders in the entire program last year, and have received the award for Highest Average Gas Savings Per Home within CenterPoint Energy Gas Territory.
The High Efficiency New Homes Program from CenterPoint Energy is an opt-in energy efficiency program offered to new home builders. “Homes in this program are plan inspected, and then site inspected and finally put through a series of tests for energy efficiency. The program uses cutting-edge software to model the energy impact of numerous design elements in each participating home. Builders use this data to design improvements that exceed the minimum requirements of the building code.”
Builders participating in the High Efficiency Homes (HEH) program are required to:
- Hire a qualified Home Energy Rating System (HERS) professional to rate and provide consulting and energy modeling services
- Complete the required program steps for each home, including an insulation visit and final site visit
NIH Homes prides itself on building homes that improve our client’s lives. It is our goal to create homes that are not only beautiful but energy-efficient and more comfortable to live in. We are thrilled to be a part of this program and to make an impact on our community.
Thank you to the High Efficiency New Homes Program for this award, and thank you to our amazing clients and team for helping us do what we love!
