Please join Conservation Consultants, Inc. for another conversation about Home Energy Score in Pennsylvania, and how to advance HES as part of the way we engage homeowners, realtors and public officials, and utilities in residential energy programs and funding. Some of you were able to join us last year for a prior conversation. We would welcome you sharing an hour of your time. You are welcome to share this invitation with others who you think should be part of this conversation; please just let me know of additional attendees.

• Gannate Khowalied, who is consulting to the DOE on Home Energy Score nationally, will be delivering some updates remotely as well.

• Liz Robinson from Energy Coordinating Agency will be joining by phone to share some updates about programs in Philadelphia.

• We’ll also briefly review updates from relationship to “greening the multi-list” in Pittsburgh.

• In addition, we’ll touch on new legislation recently introduced by US Congressman (D-Erie, PA), Matt Cartwright to codify Home Energy Score

https://cartwright.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-cartwright-introduces-legislation-aimed-at-saving-homeowners-money Sep 29, 2016  - Press Release Washington, DC – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Matt Cartwright introduced the Scoring Calculations for Our Residential Energy (SCORE) Act, legislation that will help homeowners better understand their home’s energy efficiency and give homeowners a clear, cost effective plan to save money and reduce their energy use. “Homes in the United States consume more than 20% of our nation’s energy and more than half of the energy used in the buildings sector,” Rep. Cartwright said.  “While there are plenty of opportunities to improve the efficiency of most homes, consumers have historically underinvested in energy efficiency upgrades.” In the real estate market, a fresh coat of paint can return far more in resale value than it costs, while an extra layer of insulation reduces energy bills in perpetuity but has little to no impact on resale value.  All are welcome to join by phone.
