If insulation, air sealing, performance testing, and high-efficiency HVAC systems were as exciting to home buyers as granite countertops and walk-in closets, the demand for energy-efficient homes and energy efficiency upgrades would increase dramatically. Home energy labeling allows owners, realtors, and developers a platform to market and value building energy efficiency. It provides a strategy for educating, engaging, and exciting consumers about high-performing home features that lower utilities, improve health and comfort and increase home value. By accessing home energy labels and solar PV data in tools like HELIX (Home Energy Labeling Information eXchange), states and communities can tailor decarbonization programs based on the efficiency of existing homes. This session will review trends and opportunities for home energy labeling policies in the Northeast.
