Energy Efficient Mortgage

What is an Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM)? EEM’s make it easier for borrowers to qualify for loans to purchase homes with specific energy-efficiency improvements. Conventional EEMs increase the purchasing power of buying an energy efficient home by allowing the lender to increase the borrower’s income by a dollar amount equal to the estimated energy savings.

Qualifying for an EEM typically requires a home energy rating to provide the lender with the estimated monthly energy savings and the value of the energy efficiency measures — known as the Energy Savings Value.
