There is an upcoming hearing for the Home Energy Score Ordinance! This Ordinance establishes a residential energy performance disclosure requirement, which ensures that prospective home buyers receive accurate, customized information on a home’s energy usage and any rebates or incentives that could help them improve energy efficiency.
Home Energy Scores are a standardized tool developed by the US Department of Energy that can help people understand how their home uses energy and where they can make improvements and save money.
Home Energy Score Requirements are already commonplace at the time of sale of a home or residential unit in Bend, Hillsboro, Milwaukie, and Portland.
