Mass Save offers significant incentives for energy efficient new homes in Massachusetts. For builders and homeowners, these rebates can offset upgrade costs and improve the value proposition of a high performance home.
How the Program Works
The residential new construction program rewards homes that exceed code level efficiency. Participation generally requires working with a certified HERS rater who documents the home’s performance and verifies it through testing.
What Drives the Incentive
Incentive amounts are tied to how efficient the home is and which measures are installed. Better insulation, air sealing, efficient heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and a strong HERS score all contribute to larger rebates.
Why a Rater Is Key
The rater is your bridge to the program. We model the design, identify the most cost effective upgrades, perform the required field testing, and submit documentation so you receive the incentives you have earned. On one recent multifamily project this approach helped a client secure tens of thousands of dollars in rebates.
