Manage episode 290873573 series 2614840
Reducing home utility costs places families in a better financial situation and helps preserve home affordability over time. Since the first Earth Day in 1970, changes in building codes have made homes much more efficient, cutting energy use by 47%, but a lack of energy efficiency can still be the highest cost of homeownership outside of the mortgage loan. In this episode, we discuss tools that allow lenders and appraisers the ability to rate the energy performance of homes and how to affordably reduce costs through energy efficiency upgrades.
