ShareThisHOME Portal
The HOME (Home Owner Marketplace for Efficiency) Portal provides a cost-effective way to facilitate communication between homeowners, auditors, contractors, and program administrators – without sacrificing quality. It is an easy-to-use system that guides homeowners through the audit and retrofit process, and offers them point-and-click access to program participants, reducing program administration costs. Additionally, the HOME portal offers program managers control through administrative access that shows activity and results in real time.
The HOME Portal can reduce the costs per program participant by walking homeowners through all program elements with an easy, step-by-step work flow. Depending on a program’s design, homeowners can use the portal to connect with auditors, view audit results, receive bids from contractors, find information on incentives and rebates, and connect with lenders. Also, homeowners can rate and review program partners and can see the reviews from other homeowners, providing an added layer of trust.
The HOME Portal provides program managers with:
- Secure administration-level access.
- Built-in reporting functionality for tracking of auditing and bidding activity.
- Branded and customized content.
- Customizable workflows for different delivery models from Home Performance with Energy Star workflow to a traditional utility program workflow that has separate auditors and contractor pools.
- Secure online database for all assessment data and EPS scoring data.
- Option to customize database to collect additional fields.
- Ongoing work with Multiple Listing Services in program areas to link scores and key data to real estate records at time of home listing.
