Valuing Energy Efficiency

2018 HPC National Conference Session

Driving Efficiency Improvements with Mortgage Lending and Low-Risk Savings Programs

Wednesday, April 25
1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Salon I (5th Floor)
CEUs: BPI, InterNachi, NARI, ASHI

Up-front cost is a huge barrier for homeowners and homebuyers looking to make home energy improvements. Through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s new Duty to Serve plans, both organizations will undertake analysis and conduct pilots to assess the potential of new lending practices to more systematically address energy efficiency in mortgage lending. Other programs use guaranteed savings to help homeowners afford the cost of retrofits. These programs use the Pay As You Save(R) (PAYS(R)) system and the related Home Energy Lending (HELP) system, which leverage on-bill financing, advanced energy modeling, pay for performance, and quality management processes to eliminate upfront costs and get more people to benefit from energy savings. In this session, you’ll learn about innovative new approaches that Fannie and Freddie are exploring to incentivize energy efficiency and enable energy financing through mortgage lending, as well as all the essential ingredients of the PAYS (R) and HELP programs
