Given the increasing adoption of energy legislation by municipalities across the U.S. and the growing emphasis on the upside potential available through energy efficiency by investors, appraisers today more than ever need a thorough understanding of the role energy should play in the valuation process.
This course is designed to assist commercial appraisers in advancing their own expertise in analyzing energy characteristics and in the process, set them apart – and ahead – of their competition. Appraisers will learn the role energy is currently playing in investment decisions and how to analyze it as a factor in the three approaches to value. The course includes new energy data points and tools not currently offered by any other national education providers in their existing continuing education courses. The course introduces a suite of three tools developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that can provide critical valuation information to appraisers on the various aspects of energy and building performance. Descriptions and demonstrations of the three tools and their respective outputs will be provided, as well as information on the applicability of their outputs in the appraisal process.
Armed with this information, appraisers will be better equipped to competently evaluate the role that energy and building performance play in the appraisal process and in estimating Market Value.
