Homes are constantly evolving, causing real estate professionals to encounter energy efficiency and renewable energy features more often. Buying a home is one of the largest investments most Americans will make, and being able to predict future home expenses and understand energy use is vital when considering the purchase. The process of retrieving this information for prospective home buyers and renters is complicated, though home energy labels help highlight this information and make it easier for customers to understand. Home energy labels assess a home’s energy performance and features, providing valuable information for real estate professionals, home owners, and home buyers. The energy labels are then used to leverage real estate decisions and investments in efficiency upgrades
During this free webinar, you will learn about the NYSERDA pilot with Pearl Certification and DOE’s Home Energy Score, be introduced to HELIX (Home Energy Labeling Information eXchange) as a tool to auto-populate energy data into MLS listings, and learn how to accelerate opportunities for home energy information in New York. Whether you are a real estate professional, a program administrator, a state energy official, or an advocate who works on residential efficiency programs, you'll find this webinar informative. Though the webinar is specifically targeted to the state of New York, all are welcome to attend.
NEEP will be joined by guest speakers Craig Foley, Realtor, LEED Green Associate, and Keith Bohling, Senior Project Manager at NYSERDA.
