The market must be convinced that renewable energy and high-performance building features have value. Though it’s great if they are, it is not the appraisers’ responsibility to be an advocate for energy efficiency or renewable energy.

The appraiser is responsible for:

• Understanding the building technologies utilized
• Knowing how to measure market reaction to the building features and attributes
