According to a 2022 survey by the National Association of REALTORS, 63% of REALTORS believe that promoting energy efficiency in listings is valuable. On the other hand, only 33% are comfortable answering clients' questions about home performance. To help bridge this gap, MEEA partners with local chapters and other partners throughout the Midwest to help agents and appraisers understand the value of energy efficient, high performing homes.
In the Midwest, the industrial sector accounts for 35% of all electric and 33% of natural gas usage. With such a high impact, opportunities for energy savings abound. However, given the wide range of equipment, systems, processes, and facilities involved, traditional approaches to energy efficiency programs may not always unlock all of the savings potential for industrial buildings.
The nation’s estimated 5.6 million commercial buildings have collectively shown substantial improvements in reducing energy intensity in recent years, but the sector remains an important target for energy efficiency opportunities. Given the number of commercial buildings, longevity of building life and diversity of building types, high-quality, energy-specific training for those who operate and manage these spaces is critical to achieving widespread savings.
