Home Efficiency and Realtors

Just a short post on what the real estate industry is doing to promote home energy efficiency. Check out this site, www.nagab.org and see what part realtors are taking to combat climate change. It looks interesting, question is, will it make a difference in the long run to people buying homes in markets across the country or just in those places where awareness of green home technologies is higher and places where alternate forms of energy conservation will work. What do you think?

Obviously it will appeal in areas where there is the most awareness. But I don't think that it is necessarily linked to new technologies as many of the most effective strategies have been around a long time. Try caulking.

Hey Biscuit, great reply and good advice. Caulking can truly lead to massive energy savings, especially in older drafty homes, and we have a ton of those here in the ol' GTA.
