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.
