In a well-functioning housing market, all assets of a home are recognized so that they can be accurately valued by appraisal and lending professionals. We’re working on increasing the amount of home energy information available in the market via home energy labeling programs like Home Energy Score.
The Home Energy Score was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide homeowners, buyers and renters with actionable information about a home’s energy consumption. The score helps consumers understand a home’s energy use and compare it to other homes on the market, allowing them to make informed purchasing decisions. Since 2011, Earth Advantage has partnered closely with DOE to support the implementation of Home Energy Score programs across the country. We’re a national DOE Home Energy Score Partner and a certified Quality Assurance provider.
As an expert in Home Energy Score program implementation, we can help cities and states develop tailored strategies and solutions to help them achieve their home energy labeling goals.
We consult with cities and states on best practices and custom options for creating and deploying a Home Energy Score program, and design and deliver custom tailored Home Energy Score reports for any program.
Earth Advantage provides Home Energy Score Partner services, including quality assurance, assessor training, program compliance, and rebate processing. We use a proprietary quality assurance management and rebate tracking platform to administer Home Energy Score programs across multiple jurisdictions.
We make Home Energy Score data visible to the market through our Green Building Registry platform.
