The National Association of Realtors is asking lawmakers to help improve energy efficiency in homes by offering incentives to homeowners.

We have already blogged how going green not only helps conserve resources and save the planet (for instance through the conservation of water), but also how it can aid you in the sale of your home! Particularly with the long term trend being towards acting “green”.

NAR has expressed support for the approach and overarching goals behind the Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods (GREEN) Act, H.R. 2336. The National Association of Realtors believes that improving the energy efficiency of the nation’s homes and buildings can be best accomplished with incentives and education.

H.R. 2336 would establish incentives to encourage energy efficient building, rehabilitation and upgrades. In addition, the bill provides a loan fund for states to implement renewable energy projects and would encourage a number of HUD demonstration and pilot programs that would provide best practices and great experiences for promoting energy efficiency in housing.

Developers have started to building green homes and Americans as a whole are learning ways to decrease energy usage whilst not compromising lifestyle. Even simple changes can add up to a huge difference!

Turn your energy efficient efforts into not just an environment saving project but a selling feature!
