Green Mortgages, are mortgages on energy-efficient homes. They allow home buyers to add as much as an additional 15 percent of the sale price into the loan, for upgrades such as energy-efficient windows, water heaters, or solar panels [1]. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 includes a provision to streamline and promote green mortgages [1]. New York, Vermont and California are states that have enacted bills to promote green mortgages and The Green Resources for Energy Efficient Neighborhoods Act is currently being reviewed by congress.
