Today I spoke on the WINA radio program called Real Estate Matters with Michael Guthrie. We discussed how Home Energy Audits will provide a homeowner with detailed information about the energy efficiency of their home. The purpose of the audit is to identify and prioritize which improvements to the home will create the biggest energy savings.
A Charlottesville, VA nonprofit, the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), is sponsoring the Home Performance with Energy Star program in our area. By making home improvements that save at least 20% in energy costs, an existing home can be certified as a Home Performance with Energy Star Home (www.LEAP-VA.org). This is a great way for sellers to differentiate their home from others on the market.
