Memo
January 8, 2010
RE: NEW YORK’S GREEN RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROGRAM (GRBP)
NYSBA REF’s current knowledge of the status of New York’s Green Residential Building Program that is based on conversations and conference calls with members of NYSERDA’s GRBP Team.
The program was originally to be launched on 1/1/2010, but unfortunately some of the details are still being addressed. Currently the program rules are out for a 45-day public comment period that ends on February 8, 2010. After the comments have been reviewed by NYSERDA staff they will be reviewed by their Board prior to issuance of the Program. NYSERDA has stated that their goal was to have this completed by sometime in March/April of 2010.
Currently there is no incentive program that is active and, as of this date, NYSBA REF is not the Implementation Support Contractor for this Program. NYSERDA has noted that it will honor homes that meet Certification requirements in 2010 with retroactive incentive payments once the Program is instituted for homes that have been issued certificates of occupancy from January 1, 2010. NYSBA REF is advising all participants in the Program that they will be proceeding at their own risk regarding future incentive payments and recognitions from NYSERDA until the Program is fully in place since there could be changes in the draft rules and program requirements that are out for public comment now.
Currently NYSERDA does not foresee any major changes in the Program Guidelines throughout this Public Comment period. Please direct any questions you may have to NYSERDA (Daniel Farrell, 518-862-1090 x 3490), or you can comment on the Program at www.getenergysmart.org/GreenBuilding.aspx.
