About the Energy Disclosure Program
Energy disclosure seeks to motivate single-family homeowners to complete home energy improvements by providing information at the time of sale.
Every time a home is listed for sale, an opportunity for re-investment presents itself. Energy improvements, such as sufficient attic insulation or a high-efficiency heating system, can provide significant savings and comfort benefits while increasing home value. However, energy improvements are rarely included in the traditional real estate process.
The Minneapolis energy disclosure policy helps close this identified gap by providing energy performance information during the time of sale. This information makes it easier for buyers and sellers to understand a home’s energy performance. Energy disclosure information provides access to resources necessary for making recommended energy improvements. Beyond the policy, ongoing programming through a partnership between the City of Minneapolis, Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), and CenterPoint Energy provides outreach, quality assurance, and other activities to advance the policy’s goals.
