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 presents an opportunity for re-investment. 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 the 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 and access resources to make recommended energy improvements. Beyond the policy, ongoing programming through a partnership between 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.
