ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Paulette McGhie, programs manager at ResNet, and Michel Matthews, program engagement specialist, discuss how ResNet standards differ from other energy efficiency programs and how those standards are developed and updated. They explain the important role ResNet standards play in the mortgage industry, including how a ResNet‑certified home may qualify buyers for special mortgage financing tied to new home purchases or upgrades. Michel highlights how the standards ensure accuracy and consistency in home energy ratings, building confidence for lenders and homeowners alike. The conversation also addresses what happens after certification, with Paulette noting that ResNet currently does not enforce ongoing compliance when a certified home is later sold.
