HR 6078: GREEN (Green Resources for Energy-Efficient Neighborhoods)

I’ll have to take a longer look at the bill, but it seems to replicate or perhaps enhance the energy efficient mortgage and Fannie transit proximity bonus programs that are already extant. When I spoke with folks at HUD at last year’s Greening Affordable Housing conference, they said the EEM program was not very effective. I think the various building technology programs at HUD and DOE probably achieve most of what a ‘sustainable building institute’ would accomplish.
