We're so excited to be featured in CNBC’s article about Morgan Epstein Wojciechowski (a Pearl builder and homeowner!), the first homeowner to receive Pearl's Zero Emissions Home Certification! As one of eight national certifiers working with the The White House, Pearl Certification has developed this standard in line with the White House and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s new Zero Emissions Building Definition. With residential buildings contributing a significant portion of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, real estate plays a crucial role in U.S. climate goals. The Biden administration is promoting energy-efficient homes through policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, which offers tax breaks and rebates for homeowners, and this new definition. Morgan’s all-electric home in Williamsburg, Virginia, showcases the financial benefits of sustainability by utilizing solar energy and committing to clean energy from Dominion, significantly reducing utility bills. Together, let’s build a greener future, one home at a time! Read more about their journey and tips for achieving energy efficiency in the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eR2C2-3P
