Energy Efficiency

Stronger homes. Lower costs. Lasting resilience.

IEM helps communities become more energy efficient and resilient, from federally funded rebate programs that put savings back into residents’ hands to green building standards that make homes safer and cheaper to operate. With four decades of experience designing and implementing statewide assistance programs, we help agencies turn energy investment into measurable results for the people they serve.

Home Energy Rebates

IEM is a vital partner in putting U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funds to work strengthening energy resilience and local economies. Through initiatives like the Home Efficiency Rebates and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates, we help states design and deliver rebate programs that lower energy costs for residents and accelerate the shift to efficient, modern homes.

Green Building and Resilient Construction

IEM is well-versed in HUD’s Green Building Retrofit Checklist and applies Green Building Standards across our disaster recovery programs. Our housing construction projects pursue sustainable certifications, including ENERGY STAR, EPA Indoor AirPlus, LEED, and the ICC-700 National Green Building Standard®. We deliver cost-effective energy improvements that meet local zoning codes and required housing quality standards, building homes that cost less to operate and stand up to what comes next.

Fortified Construction

IEM builds to a Fortified Gold standard that reinforces the most vulnerable areas of a home against wind, rain, and storm pressure. The result is a more resilient home, lower long-term ownership costs, and potential insurance savings for the families who live there.
