The Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) is
offered through FannieMae's Housing and the Environment
Initiative, which promotes the design, construction, and
purchase of more efficient homes.
The
EEM recognizes that energy-efficient homes cost homeowners less
to operate on a monthly basis than standard homes because they
use less energy. Borrowers who choose energy-efficient homes can
afford to spend more on their housing expenses because they will
likely spend less on their energy costs.
The EEM allows borrowers to qualify for a
larger mortgage as a result of the energy savings. The EEM
benefits those buying new, energy-efficient homes or those
purchasing existing homes that need energy improvements.
