Our Nation:

• Significant job creation
• Accelerates movement toward energy independence & reduces GHG emissions
• Very low fiscal cost & high probability of success

Property Owner:

• Lower energy bills and substantially reduced upfront costs for energy retrofits
• Improved return on investment/positive cash flow on retrofits (annual savings > cost)

States, Cities & Municipalities:

• Immediate job creation
• No credit or general obligation risk
• Obligation is liability of real estate owner
• Greenhouse gas reductions/energy independence
• Opt in: Only those real estate owners who opt in pay for it

Existing Mortgage Lenders:

• Borrowers cash flow/credit profile improves (energy savings > annual tax cost)
• Property/collateral value increases

Lender:

• Virtually no risk of loss as property tax liens are senior to mortgage debt
• 97% of property taxes are current & losses are less than 1%
