Efficient, Healthy, and Clean-Energy Homes
High performance homes deliver benefits beyond efficiency and cost savings. They are also typically healthier, safer, more durable and resilient than other homes. High-performance homes contain higher quality materials, are built with advanced building techniques, and reduce carbon emissions. The COVID pandemic and increased frequency of extreme events such as the California wildfires have raised consumer concerns around indoor air quality, resiliency and safety. This webinar recording addresses high-performance technology and the multiple benefits to the buildings, occupants, society, and the environment.

Listen to this recorded discussion of how appraisers can use both historical and current data to develop and support market trends analyses, and as a reconciliation of their opinions, as the residential real estate market reacts to the events of the COVID pandemic.
