Section 06

Energy Efficient and Green Features

Appendix B-1, page 154

The Energy Efficient and Green Features section provides information about the following and their impacts to value and/or marketability:

  • Renewable energy components, such as solar panels
  • Building certifications, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and National Green Building Standard (NGBS Green™)
  • Green efficiency ratings, such as HERS® and WaterSense

This section provides space for additional commentary and exhibits.

The Energy Efficient and Green Features section displays when one or more of the three energy efficient or green features is "true". (Figure 6 - 1)

  • Known Renewable Energy Components: RenewableEnergyComponentExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0005, FID: 6.000)
  • Known Building Certifications: GreenCertificationExistsIndicator(UID: 2600.0004, FID: 6.004)
  • Known Efficiency Ratings: EfficiencyRatingExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0003, FID:6.010)

  • If all indicators are "false", the section does not display.
  • If one indicator is "true", the section displays.
  • When RenewableEnergyComponentExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0005, FID: 6.000) = "true", do not display "Known Renewable Energy Components" (Figure 6 - 2)
  • When an indicator is "true", a table with additional data displays. (Figure 6 - 3)

Example

In Figure 6 - 4, there are two indicators that are "false" and one that is "true". The section displays, but the "false" values display "None" while the "true" value provides additional data in a table.

Known Renewable Energy Components - RenewableEnergyComponentExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0005, FID: 6.000) = "false"

Known Building Certifications - GreenCertificationExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0004, FID: 6.004) = "false"

Known Efficiency Ratings - EfficiencyRatingExistsIndicator (UID: 2600.0003, FID: 6.010) = "true"

Energy Efficient and Green Features Impact to Value/Marketability#

The Energy Efficient and Green Features Impact to Value/Marketability subsection always displays in the Energy Efficient and Green Features section. The ValueMarketabilityImpactType (UID: 2600.0027, FID: 6.014) is conditionally required. Any commentary can be provided using EnergyEfficientAndGreenDescription (UID: 2600.0026, FID: 6.015). (Figure 6 - 5)

  • Display Impact to Value/Marketability ValueMarketabilityImpactType (UID: 2600.0027, FID: 6.014) when:
    • RenewableEnergyComponentExistsIndicator = "true" OR
    • GreenCertificationExistsIndicator = "true" OR
    • EfficiencyRatingExistsIndicator = "true"
  • When ValueMarketabilityImpactType (UID: 2600.0027, FID: 6.014) = "Adverse", the Description EnergyEfficientAndGreenDescription (UID: 2600.0026, FID: 6.015) must display.
  • When ValueMarketabilityImpactType (UID: 2600.0027, FID: 6.014) <> "Adverse", the Description EnergyEfficientAndGreenDescription (UID: 2600.0026, FID: 6.015) will display if provided.

true

The solar panels are leased and therefore not considered part of the real property. The lease is transferable when the subject is sold, however there is no measurable impact on value or marketability as the decision to transfer the lease would be the personal preference of any purchaser of the property.
