Topics include the following: Who`s who and what`s what in the EM marketplace; initial Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines; past and present home energy rating system; how do you score a house; how an energy mortage works; energy improvement loans; sample rating certificate; fixing the system; Colorado`s conventional market approach; US DOE`s pilot group; energy mortages set to take off.
