This report emphasizes the importance of providing better energy information to renters, buyers, owners, and operators of buildings. By arming them with this information, they can make more informed choices, differentiate between properties, and determine whether energy upgrades are needed. The report discusses barriers to adopting efficiency measures and highlights the implementation of disclosure policies by state and local governments, as well as the need for federal policies to promote energy disclosure and incentivize energy-efficient properties.
