In a recent webinar, Earth Advantage (Portland's appointed QA/QC provider) stated the cost of non-compliance with the Portland Home Energy Score Program would be $1,000. This is double what is currently written in the ordinance. It's important to keep in mind this is not a one time fine. It's $1,000 for the first 90 days of non-compliance and $1,000 for every 180 days there after.

The New Home Energy Score
The U.S. Department of Energy created the software used for the Portland Home Energy Score Program. However, the city wanted a little more than what the DOE offered so they teamed up with Earth Advantage to make the reports more descriptive and enable home buyers to quickly easily compare the costs and environmental impact of each home.  

See the old Home Energy Score Report

The new Home Energy Score report includes:
  • The home's estimated energy costs per year (see below). Keep in mind this does not include personal behavior such as TV's, lights, appliances or small basement farms.
    • See what's included in the Home Energy Score
  •  The new report will also include the home's estimated carbon footprint in tons/year so you can tell all of your friends how awesome you are. 
  • If the home has built in renewable energy generation, the estimated energy savings will be included on the front page.
