The Home Energy Score metric is like a miles-per-gallon rating for homes, summing up a dwelling’s energy efficiency in a single number that people can use to compare residences in a standardized way. But not many people seem to know about the scores yet. Launched by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 2012, Home Energy Scores were developed to help transform the residential market, making the sometimes steep cost of wasted energy more transparent to potential buyers and even renters. It’s the kind of insight into home energy that’s sorely needed. Half of U.S. homes were built more than 40 years ago, which was before building energy codes had been widely adopted in the U.S., according to the DOE.

New research predicts global CO2 emissions will begin to decline this year and halve by 2050. That’s not fast enough to meet climate goals. “It’s really a milestone. Instead of saying that we’re on the wrong track, we can say that we’re on the right track, although we’re still at the wrong pace," says DNV's Sverre Alvik. Here's the story https://ow.ly/NzF750TL8ty
