Premiere High-Performance Builders

GEM offers a suite of green building quantification, marketing, and financial products and services that distinguishes high-performance builders and developers from conventional real estate markets.

America’s Real Estate Developers and Builders have impacted our country’s social and economic conditions for centuries.  From the way the land is developed (sustainably), implementing building design and modern day technology, our communities continue to benefit from innovative building industry pioneers.

These innovators help shape the way we live and our ability to sustain ourselves. We thank our builders for their contribution in driving high-performance building and sustainability practices!

It’s a new paradigm. Today’s building environment can be overwhelming for most builders.  Staying ahead of technological advancement, building code and carbon reduction mandates, web-based marketing and financial, utility regulatory shifts can be a daunting experience for most real estate construction companies.

Green Energy Money, Inc is proud to be a valued resource and market-based solution for our building community. We understand that increasing building costs to improve energy efficiency can make it difficult to absorb cost outlays, translate and quantify to consumer and financial markets.  The old myths and perceptions around green building affordability have shifted dramatically.  It doesn’t have to cost more to enjoy energy and financial interdependence.

High-performance building is fast becoming a beneficial way to differentiate and continue to scale and grow companies in the real estate and financial industry. GEM offers a suite of green building quantification, marketing, and financial products and services that distinguishes high-performance builders and developers from conventional real estate markets.  Our goal is to drive high-performance building and lending and create sustainable energy and debt reduction potential for homeowners and businesses; no matter how big or small.

GEM’s Green Appraisal Methods Recognize High-Performance Building

Green Energy Money, Inc has developed a proprietary green appraisal rating system that standardizes and quantifies the connection between the HERS Index and 18 energy rating systems and building codes. As a result, GEM’s appraisal valuation method (conforms to current regulatory guidelines) captures the monetized value that builders, consumers, and lenders require to achieve cost benefits for new construction or existing building retrofits for high-performance homes.

Green Energy Money (GEM) is partnering and connecting with national, regional stakeholders in the US and Canada, to offer a High-Performance Building and Green Mortgage Pilot Program, the GEM Loan® Hi-PP Initiative. 

GEM has beta-tested its appraisal practices and green asset quantification methods with several national and regional mortgage lending institutions and banks. Together these mortgage companies have successfully funded over $37m in loan volume during an 36 month Beta Program for high-performance projects where over 50 percent were near-to-net-zero homes.

GEM and their valued lending alliances are currently seeking high-performance builders and projects to join the GEM Loan® Hi-PP Initiative. The identified states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland DC, New Mexico, Virginia Metro, Missouri, Texas, Utah, Oregon and Washington.
