In mid-2024, NYSERDA will be migrating Comfort Home from the current Compass workflow platform to the NY Home Energy Portal (NYHEP).  NYHEP is the workflow system used for EmPower+ and REA (the Residential Energy Assessment program).  This change will simplify the contractor experience by having one common platform across all of the NYSERDA small home residential programs.  NYSERDA has started planning for this migration in areas such as training, workflow testing, data migration, and reporting.  Additional information will be shared in the coming months.
