NASEO's Residential Energy Efficiency Task Force was formed by State Energy Offices to prepare for two new residential programs, Home Energy Performance-Based Whole-House Rebates Program (HOMES) and High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEEHR). It is open to all State Energy Offices, includes a private-sector partners, and is co-chaired State Energy Office Directors. The functions of this Task Force are to develop principles for U.S. Department of Energy guidance that will be associated with these programs that reflect the variety of markets and priorities of State Energy Offices, draft program templates for State Energy Offices with deployment options, and to serve as the space for State Energy Offices, Federal agencies, and private-market actors to discuss these programs.

To join the Task Force, please contact Maddie Koewler at mkoewler@naseo.org.
