High-Performance, Green Homes in Residential Real Estate (RE86R14)
Instructor Craig Foley will present three topics focused on the emerging high-performance housing market in Massachusetts. The first is an overview of the real estate value chain– green builders and contractors, listing agents, the green MLS, appraisers, lenders, and homeowners – and how it relates to the proper valuation of more efficient homes. The second is a deeper focus on building ratings and certifications, such as ENERGY STAR®, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), and a Mass Save® pilot program called Home MPG, which introduces asset valuations. Finally, a highlight of legislation and incentives to fund energy-efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and sustainable design in Massachusetts will give context to where the market is heading.
