Asset rating provides systematic way to evaluate energy efficient features of a home Removes influence of occupant behavior, fuel price and weather fluctuations allows easy comparison of one home to another We need to be able to talk to each other about home energy in way that is consistent, meaningful, understandable, and comparable Transparency provides consumers opportunity to value energy efficiency in real estate transaction and motivates homeowners or sellers to improve their score Integrating two nationally recognized and industry backed asset rating systems combined into one comparable score called Tompkins Residential Energy Score As the program is designed and completed, two primary concerns need to be considered: Avoid creating disproportionate negative impacts on low income population How program may impact a homes assessed value and taxes The process of putting this program into place is proposed in 6 phases: Secure funding This project was funded to develop a program NOT to run one or implement it program cannot move forward without adequate funding Hire program implementer who will drive the program forward Responsible for overseeing the program and tracking data, guiding program design, and carrying out training, education, and outreach Complete program design Pilot program Pilot will allow for testing design and effectiveness of program on a smaller scale May be limited by number of homes, geographical area, or time period Voluntary program Voluntary option can help build toward and inform a mandate or ordinance down the road Free market may better capture publics enthusiasm for home energy scoring Evaluate program and local political environment for readiness for mandate or law Request state legislation explicitly giving municipalities legal authority Without large adoption or mandate program will struggle to meet its ultimate goal of valuing energy efficiency in real estate transactions and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Program only becomes significant if widely adopted how do we encourage, motivate, or incentivize people to have home scored
