Event Description
Homeowner interest in our capacity to maintain healthy indoor air quality and increase resilience has skyrocketed since COVID and the proliferation of wildfires. Concerns around the ability to shelter in place during extreme events range from far-flung rural areas to cities. Air pollutants like respiratory viruses and wildfire smoke can be prevented from entering and overwhelming a home. The certainty of a steady supply of clean, filtered air would mean fewer days missed from school and sports activities along with better grades for our kids, increased performance at work for adults, reduced medical expenses, and positive impacts on our local economies. Health insurance companies acknowledge this and are more frequently investing in energy upgrades, particularly in low-income housing, as a risk reduction; proven to be more cost-effective than the expenses of emergency room care and illness. Many efficiency improvements go beyond energy savings, they also make homes healthier and more resilient during power losses, fires, and extraordinary weather. It’s also possible that an efficiency project if not installed correctly, can cause health problems. Do assets that increase home resiliency and occupant health contribute to market value?
RE pros pursuing expertise in Clean Energy Homes will advance their knowledge of potential improvements in home health and resiliency resulting from common efficiency improvements, expanding their credibility as expert guides for their customers.
