An announcement incorporating the Home Energy Score into FHA financing came out yesterday.
The initiative allows Single Family Energy Efficient Home borrowers to qualify for a higher loan amount when a home receives a Home Energy Score of 6 or higher.
You can read more about it in HUD’s guidance announcement and in the White House’s fact sheet on New Actions to Bring Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency to Households across the Country.
