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 520,000 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 $25 for residential properties and $500 for commercial properties.
