Large developments application
SMUD may provide design assistance within reason for affordable housing projects only. We will not provide funding for Title 24 documentation authors to reconstruct models or plans in the event of needed corrections.
Upon completion of submittal review, TRC will provide you with a letter of acceptance and Incentive Request Form (IRF).
Next steps
Once you receive written approval from SMUD and construction has begun:
- Ensure all applicable CF-2R forms are uploaded to the chosen HERS Registry for each home
- If applicable, obtain the appropriate CF-3R HERS rating certificates for each home
- Keep TRC informed of any changes in equipment or building envelope that would impact energy performance; changes made without notification may forfeit incentive payment
