tractor, or aggregator submit to the State any appli-
cable forms that are approved by the Secretary, in-
cluding a copy of the certificate provided by the ap-
plicable contractor certifying projected or measured 
reduction of home energy use;

spect to a home using the same baseline energy use 
of such home; and 
(10) that the State program include a proce-
dure for providing, with respect to each home lo-
cated in an underserved community that receives a 
home energy efficiency retrofit for which a rebate is 
provided under the program, the contractor per-
forming such home energy efficiency retrofit, or an 
aggregator who has the right to claim such rebate,

homeowner, contractor, or aggregator a rebate, to be 
known as a modeled performance home rebate, for 
an energy audit of a home and a home energy effi-
ciency retrofit that is projected, using modeling soft-
ware approved by the Secretary, to reduce home en-
ergy use by at least 20 percent. 
(2) AMOUNT.— 
(A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in 
section 206, and subject to subparagraph (B), 
the amount of a modeled performance home re-
bate provided under a State program shall be 
equal to not more than 50 percent of the cost 
of the applicable energy audit of a home and 
home energy efficiency retrofit, including the 
cost of diagnostic procedures, labor, reporting, 
and modeling. 
(B) LIMITATION.—Except as provided in 
section 206, with respect to an energy audit 
and home energy efficiency retrofit that is pro-
jected to reduce home energy use by— 
(i) at least 20 percent, but less than 
35 percent, the maximum amount of a 
modeled performance home rebate shall be 
$2,000; and

(e) MEASURED PERFORMANCE HOME REBATES.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.— 
(A) MINIMUM REDUCTION IN HOME EN-
ERGY USE.—In carrying out a State program 
under this section, a State may provide a home-
owner, contractor, or an aggregator a rebate, to 
be known as a measured performance home re-
bate, for a home energy efficiency retrofit, or 
portfolio of home energy efficiency retrofits, 
where— 
(i) for a home energy efficiency ret-
rofit that is not part of a portfolio, there 
is reduction in home energy use of at least 
15 percent; and 
(ii) for home energy efficiency retro-
fits that are part of a portfolio, there is an 
aggregate reduction in home energy use of 
at least 15 percent. 
(B) MEASURED
REDUCTION.—For pur-
poses of a measured performance home rebate, 
reductions in home energy use shall be meas-
ured—

(i) at the meter; 
(ii) in terms of reductions in kilowatt 
hour, or kilowatt hour-equivalent, use; and 
(iii) using methods and procedures ap-
proved by the Secretary. 
(2) AMOUNT.—Except as provided in section 
206— 
(A) in the case of a home energy efficiency 
retrofit— 
(i) that is not part of a portfolio, the 
amount of a measured performance home 
rebate provided under a State program 
shall be not more than 50 percent of the 
direct costs of the home energy efficiency 
retrofit to the homeowner; and 
(ii) that is part of a portfolio, the ag-
gregated amount for measured perform-
ance home rebates provided for such port-
folio under a State program shall be not 
more than 50 percent of the aggregated di-
rect costs of the home energy efficiency 
retrofits that are part of the portfolio;

ance home rebate provided under a State pro-
gram shall be determined—

(i) in the case of a home energy effi-

folio, based on the amount that home en-
ergy use for the home is reduced, provided 
such reduction is at least 15 percent; and 
(ii) in the case of a home energy effi-

based on the amount that home energy use 
for the home is reduced, regardless of 
whether such reduction is at least 15 per-
cent; and 
(C) the amount of a measured performance 
home rebate provided under a State program 
shall be determined using a payment rate per 
kilowatt hour or kilowatt hour-equivalent of re-
duction in home energy use that is— 
(i) established by the State energy of-
fice and approved by the Secretary; and 
(ii) not more than a payment rate 
that would equal, for a 20 percent reduc-
tion in average home energy use, based on 
State energy data, a rebate of not more 
than $2,000.
