Re: A Modest (Green) Proposal

Michael , as usual for you , a well thought out program ! I think this would help the Resale Market also ! If the houses had a HERS Rating after insulation work is done , homeowner would be able to use this to market the Energy Efficiency of the house in the future ! The HERS Rating before insulation upgrades would become part of the " before & after story " . If you up the ante with Energy Star Appliances the benefit grows even bigger ! Keepin' it Green !
