Who are we?

Jesse Rivera, CEO at New Vista Solutions
New Vista Solutions has been serving the mortgage industry since 2007. We are a full service vendor management company for mortgage lenders, and we’ve recently expanded our services into the green energy space. We want to help property owners save money on their green energy projects by utilizing green incentives, and we want to help connect them with mortgage lenders who can offer affordable financing options to pay for energy-efficient upgrades made to their property.

Natalie Campos Goodman, Founder/CEO at IncentiFind
IncentiFind is an exciting new company that has developed the nation’s largest database of green energy incentives. IncentiFind is a privately-held company, currently housing over 24,000 incentives — and that number is growing as state legislators turn their attention to green energy policies, programs and technologies that protect the environment and promote economic prosperity.

What are green energy incentives?

Green energy incentives (or green incentives) are financial rewards from the U.S. government or a local utility company paid to property owners when they incorporate energy-efficient components into their property renovation and new construction projects.

The incentives are paid out in various ways — tax credits, rebates, tax deductions, grants, subsidy programs — to name a few.

How does a property owner benefit from green incentives?

First — the obvious answer — you save money. If you’re thinking of lowering your utility bills by replacing drafty windows, upgrading your lighting or installing a more energy-efficient air conditioning system, you’re in the right place. There is a financial incentive for just about everything you can think of that will make your home or commercial property more energy-efficient.

Second — and not so obvious — utilizing green incentives can help pay for structural upgrades that mitigate property damage resulting from extreme heat, drought, and catastrophic flood and wind events. So your home or building is more resilient against a natural disaster. You could also see a lower insurance premium.

Residential property owners — after you complete your energy-efficient upgrades at a lower cost thanks to green incentives, you could see an increase in your property value. The Appraisal Institute and RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) have partnered to provide appraisers with access to RESNET’s national registry of HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rated homes. The HERS score has become the gold standard for rating the energy efficiency of a home. According to the HERS website, over two million homes in the U.S. have been HERS-rated, and nearly one in four new homes built today receives a HERS Index score. Studies have shown that properties with the best HERS ratings can see appraised values 9.5% higher than non-HERS rated properties.

Commercial property owners — studies have also shown that commercial buildings with energy-efficient upgrades and lower operating costs can demand higher rents and tend to have a higher occupancy rate.

Where can a property owner access a list of green incentives available for a specific property?

New Vista Solutions has partnered with IncentiFind, the nation’s only comprehensive source for green incentives. IncentiFind maintains a database of more than 24,000 incentives. To help property owners quickly identify incentives available for a specific property, we have created The Green Report. This report saves property owners time from sifting through government documents and websites for information. IncentiFind’s database is comprehensive and accurate, so property owners can feel confident that all available incentives are listed, ensuring the maximum cost savings for their project.

What is The Green Report and how much does it cost?

The Green Report is a comprehensive list of government-backed and utility-funded incentives available to property owners when they construct, renovate or upgrade real property using energy-efficient, water-conserving and/or renewable products, materials or measures. The report is property-specific and presents the incentives in an organized format that property owners can use and understand.

The cost is $99 for residential properties and $1,000 for commercial properties.
