The TNMP High-Performance Homes Program promotes the construction and certification of high-performance and ENERGY STAR® certified new homes. Participating homebuilders can receive financial incentives for constructing energy-efficient homes that meet current program guidelines.
On average, ENERGY STAR certified homes use 20% less energy than other new homes. Built from the ground up to meet rigorous quality and efficiency standards, certified homes feature high-efficiency construction, heating and cooling equipment, lighting, and appliances to deliver long-lasting savings and comfort.
Builders, contractors, and HERS raters must register on the database and submit an enrollment application each year in order to participate.

The Res/HTR SOPs were developed by TNMP to provide incentives to suppliers of energy services. The primary objective of these programs is to achieve cost-effective reduction in summer peak demand, winter peak demand, and annual energy consumption for TNMP’s residential and hard-to-reach customers.
TNMP designed the programs to encourage electric energy efficiency improvements that go above and beyond the efficiency gains typically achieved in replacement-on-burnout projects. Energy savings for eligible measures are based on calculations as defined in the Texas Technical Reference Manual (TRM). Learn more.
