Participating homebuilders are expected to meet a number of performance milestones. This milestone system is designed to provide goals and a systematic, quarterly process through which a SMECO Account Manager can ensure that homes under a given application are moving forward as projected. If a builder and the SMECO Account Manager determine that not all the builder’s homes will be completed within the 1-year deadline, the system provides the opportunity to enroll delayed homes under a new application at SMECO’s discretion.
Milestones from the date of application submittal:
- 1 month—Must have registered homes for which permits have been pulled in the online program reporting system, identified HERS Rater(s) in the online system, and signed the EPA ENERGY STAR for Homes Partnership Agreement.
- 3 months—At least 10% of your total committed homes should be invoiced on the program’s online system.
- 6 months—At least 40% of your total committed homes should be invoiced on the program’s online system.
- 9 months—At least 70% of your total committed homes should be invoiced on the program’s online system.
- 12 months—100% of your total committed homes should be invoiced on the program's online system.
