Grounded Podcast: Oregon's Home Energy Score Program
On the first Grounded episode of 2022, we talk to Home Energy Score experts to de-mystify home energy Scores and the program process.
Home energy scores are a market-based solution for sharing critical energy efficiency information to both buyers and sellers of homes. A home’s score can help homeowners and homebuyers better understand how a home uses energy, future energy costs, and what steps they can take to improve energy efficiency.
On this episode, we talk with ODOE’s Analyst Roger Kainu about home energy scoring in Oregon. Later in the episode, Peter Brandom and Dacia Bakkum join us from the City of Hillsboro and we discuss how a city can take advantage of this leading-edge program. For homeowners, buyers, sellers, assessors, and real-estate agents- this episode is a must!
