Financing, Valuing & Marketing Energy Efficient Homes- The Future of High Performance Buildings: This session examines how green appraisals are evaluated and quantified, and how trained green appraisers, loan officers and underwriters are able to obtain the desired result of a recognized value with competitive financing. The session will review case studies for high-performance projects (retrofit and new construction) that recognized the value of “green” features and were funded successfully in the secondary market (deep utility cost reductions, below $300 a year in utility costs). A national HP Pilot Program with new incentivized mortgage loan products is planned for roll out in 2014.
