Given the increasing adoption of energy legislation by municipalities across the U.S. and the growing emphasis on the upside potential available through energy efficiency by investors, appraisers today more than ever need a thorough understanding of the role energy should play in the valuation process.
This course is designed to assist commercial appraisers in advancing their own expertise in analyzing energy characteristics and in the process, set them apart – and ahead – of their competition. Appraisers will learn the role energy is currently playing in investment decisions and how to analyze it as a factor in the three approaches to value. The course includes new energy data points and tools not currently offered by any other national education providers in their existing continuing education courses.
