Mo SEP Cycle 1 Initiatives -- MEI Chair Updates
Residential Energy Efficiency Real Estate Valuation
Champions: Josh Campbell, Billy Davies
:
Objective:
  • Increasing the instance of high performing components being considered and utilized for properties sold and bought by all parties (property owners, bankers, appraisers, home inspectors and REALTORS)
Background:
  • There are significant outreach, monitoring and engagements occurring in Missouri in this field. It is important to identify existing activities, support those and then identify gaps that can be filled.
Challenge/Opportunity:
  1. Support existing programs and efforts 
  2. Increase work work focusing on mortgage bankers and the greater valuing of EE
  3. There is no information automatically provided to homeowner regarding energy efficiency of properties, thus they are not identifying differences or asking questions.
Solution: By supporting the existing efforts to increase the adoption of energy efficiency in the process of buying and purchasing homes as well as addressing and engaging the other sectors in the marketplace this group will increase the demand for energy use data by property owners, which when coupled with the increased awareness and incentivization of the other sectors will increase the pool of identified property and players in the market place…all driving towards energy use becoming a decision point for all links in the Real Estate chain.

Actions:
  1. Creation of a regularly convening group focused on Residential Energy Efficiency
  2. Expand education and training efforts to financing/mortgage banking and underwriting communities.


​The residential energy efficiency valuation workgroup will focus on identifying barriers to routinely including the value of energy efficiency investments in the real estate sector. Areas of particular interest are energy efficiency investment valuation at the appraiser level and the inclusion of property energy usage information on the Multiple Listing Service.​
