Program Description
The Federal Housing Administration's (FHA's) Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) helps homeowners finance the cost of adding energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to their home as part of an FHA-insured home purchase or refinance mortgage. The actual mortgage loan is provided through an FHA-approved lender, such as imortgage, and the FHA provides mortgage insurance to reduce the risk of the additional energy project cost to the lender. The additional energy project cost available to the homeowner through the EEM is determined by the results of an energy audit, usually provided through a professional who conducts a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) test on the house. As with any typical mortgage, EEMs can be structured in many different ways that may include closing costs, fees or points.
