As Stimulus dollars continue to flow, we observe a significant and expanding investment in “building retrofit” programs. While some actual retrofitting is being financed, much of the money is being used to audit houses, report findings to homeowners, and market conventional efficiency upgrades. The stimulus investment will invariably save some energy, but it is not on a track to capture the vitally needed carbon reduction potential of buildings.
