National Grid offers incentives and services to help you build an energy efficient home with lower operating costs, increased

durability, and comfort. Higher incentives are offered for more efficient homes. Working in partnership with the builder, a certified HERS rater will assess the energy efficiency of the home and provide on-site verification services. Energy modeling will be used to verify compliance, allowing flexibility in meeting the Program requirements.

Benefits and Services include:

• HERS Rating

• ENERGY STAR® Homes Rating for projects seeking theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) label

• Energy modeling & design review

• Complimentary ENERGY STAR bulbs and WaterSense®showerheads

• On-site trainings

• Energy code compliance documentation

• Performance incentives

• Submission of additional rebates for qualified heating andcooling equipment

• Apply prior to insulation installation

• Meet the energy savings requirements of Tier 1, 2, 3 or 4 (see Page 2)

• New construction homes must comply with sections 3 & 5 of the ENERGY STAR Thermal Enclosure Checklist(renovations must meet this requirement where applicable)

• Less than 5 ACH50 blower door test for new construction

• Duct leakage to outside less than 6 CFM/100 square feet for new duct systems

• Mechanical ventilation per either RI 2013 SBC or ASHRAE 62.2 2010

• All new combustion heating or domestic hot waterequipment in the conditioned space must be sealedcombustion, and existing atmospheric equipment must passthe RESNET CAZ test (unvented gas fireplaces will not beallowed)

• Contact the RNC Project Manager and allow access to theunit after insulation and prior to sheetrock and again at thecompletion of the project for testing. (5 days’ notice required)

• Ducted A/C systems must be sized in accordance with ACCAManual J and S

1. Complete 2018 Project Application: Review the RNC Program Requirements and Terms and Conditions. Verify the equipmentto be installed. Work with the RNC Project Manager to ensure accuracy of project specifications.

2. Submit Plans and 2018 Project Application to Program: Email Anthony.Laine@clearesult.com or call 888-887-8841 forinstructions.

3. Plans Review: The RNC Project Manager will review the plans and verify that you selected the appropriate Tier to qualify yourhome for the RNC Program. If the home does not meet the selected Tier requirements, upgrade options will be presented inconsultation with the program applicant. Up to five hours are allocated to conduct the plans review and provide upgradeoptions. Consulting requested beyond the five-hour allocation is available at $135/hour.

4. Site Visits: Site visits are typically conducted: (1) after insulation, before drywall; and (2) when the home is complete(mechanical systems are operating). The purpose of these site visits is to verify that the home is built to the agreedspecifications and meets Program standards. Additional site visits may be necessary and will be determined by the ProjectManager.

5. Certifications and Incentives: Upon successful completion of site visits the Project Manager will process RNC Program andENERGY STAR Homes (if qualified) paperwork. Units that meet the ENERGY STAR Homes standards will receive the EPA’s labelof qualification. Incentives offered by National Grid will be processed at this time.
