GEM gives you the freedom to choose cutting-edge, energy-efficient construction methods.
We work with our strategic alliance partners to facilitate the loan process and to include a “green appraisal” that recognizes and quantifies the value of your investment in high-performance measures. GEM‘s third-party certification processes and quantified methods support the appraiser in properly valuing and recognizing the lower maintenance costs and reduced operating expenses of an energy-efficient home.
Why should I upgrade my home?
Many homeowners and apartment building (multi-family) owners are facing high utility costs and need to reduce their energy consumption by making energy improvements to their properties.
Government initiatives and mandates are driving many building owners to upgrade their properties prior to sale or, in some cases, to improve their energy efficiencies to avoid facing imposed penalties. Whether or not the government enforces mandated polices, it makes sense to improve high energy consumption properties.

What about Financing New Construction?
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and many green builders have stepped up to engage in high-performance building to differentiate themselves; check municipal databases to find approved green builders in your region. But there are different “shades of green.”
It is important to choose a builder who is trained and certified in high building performance, or look for recognized labels-i.e., “certified “houses-in production purchases. It is equally important to obtain information on the building performance and projected energy costs of the building. Learn More
