Power Hour | Home Energy Score: What’s in a score and why do we need them?
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75Join us for the last virtual Power Hour of the year!
Our homes are the biggest investment we will make. When making a decision to buy a home we expect disclosures about the true state and value of the homes we are considering. Energy scores give us the opportunity to bring more information and transparency to the home buying process and truly understand the lifetime operating costs that we’re signing up for.
Join us as we hear from two experts from the Oregon Department of Energy and nonprofit organization, Earth Advantage, to take a step back to look at the basics: What is the Home Energy Score?
We’ll dig into what information these scores can tell us about the places that we call home and how they can help us meet our climate goals. We’ll analyze the opportunities and challenges of implementing a Home Energy Score program and uncover what resources are available to help a program in Bend succeed.
