This is an exciting time for GREENIES. The Retrofit Report was released and there is much to be happy about within.
Many government departments worked together on this one (which in itself is amazing) and this recovery includes training and credit and much more for Green Building and Retrofit.
Explained quite well in the video (see link below) some of the points included
Working with the home appraisal industry to insure guidelines reflect energy efficiency values, and certifying retrofiters
Special tax assessments for green
PACE Property Assessed Clean Energy
Allows property owners to request municipal financing for energy retrofits or renewable energy systems thru a special tax assessment on the property
Expanded work with HUD and others to make it easier to acquire Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEM's)
Clean energy being an engine of economic growth in our towns
