ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction and Single Family New Homes

This training is a combined class for both ENERGY STAR Single Family New Homes and ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction. We will cover a broad array of topics including program requirements & guidance, rater checklists, and ENERGY STAR partner resources. The test will be given following the final day of training for each section.

ENERGY STAR / the EPA requires all people completing the third-party verification of ENERGY STAR Single Family New Homes and ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction be certified as a Rater or Approved Inspector and have successfully completed an EPA-recognized training class (as this class is).

For homes (both single family and multifamily) attempting to meet Section 45L (Tax Credit for Energy Efficient New Homes of the Inflation Reduction Act), after 01/01/2023 the base level tax credit will be tied to ENERGY STAR certification. For single family new homes, the base level tax credit is $2,500 while the multifamily new construction base level tax credit is $500 (or $2,500 when prevailing wage requirements are met).
