Builders, subcontractors, and construction professionals attending this workshop will learn about PG&E's Residential New Construction incentives, as well as solar incentives, connection requirements, and how green building programs tie in to PG&E's programs.

Participants will also have an opportunity to hear about the proposed new incentive program design that will take effect later in 2009.

1) The CA ENERGY STAR Performance Method;
2) The New Solar Homes Partnership Performance Method Tier 1 and Tier 2;
3) The Prescriptive Method

Green Building. Attendees will learn ways they may be eligible for PG&E's energy efficiency rebates at the same time they are pursuing green building certification for their projects. Attendees will receive an outline of how the green building requirements and PG&E's incentives work hand-in-hand.
