Oregon Home Energy Score Program - Background

The Oregon Dept. of Energy's (ODOE) Home Energy Score program was launched in early 2019 in order to offer a voluntary, statewide, standardized approach to home energy scoring. Some Oregon cities require sellers of residential, single-family homes to obtain and disclose a Home Energy Score - in Portland, Milwaukie, and Hillsboro.
