Energy efficient homes rule clears tough panel
A House Commerce subcommittee backed a mandatory energy efficiency provision for home loans in 1982 and beyond by a 12-8 vote. If approved by full committee and Congress, lenders under federal regulation would require certificates of energy efficiency before mortgage approval for single family or condo homes. The measure would include exemptions for unusually old homes and would let federal authorities set required measures with local inspectors issuing certificates. Carter signals possible support for mandatory measures if enacted.
