Next Step Homes Pilot Phases 2 and 3 Summary

As part of the Next Step Homes program (now known as Residential New Construction) the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) contracted with CLEAResult to conduct a summary report of activities, outcomes and lessons learned between 2013 and 2019. The activities detailed in this report occurred during NEEA’s Next Step Homes Pilot (Pilot) Phases 2 and 3 and include a Ratings Accuracy Study and an Energy Ratings Index (ERI) Variability Study.

The primary purpose of the report is to provide a historical reference of activities and core learnings from the Next Step Homes program. The report contains descriptions of the Pilot Phase 2, the Ratings Accuracy Study, Pilot Phase 3, and the ERI Variability Study, followed by discussions of lessons learned that informed a variety of technical trainings and resources, code advancement proposals and the development of Standard Protocol/Performance Path.
