Energy Considerations in Home Mortgages: An Evaluation Technique.
Maine Audubon Society, Falmouth.
This document, intended primarily for mortgage lenders, is designed to aid readers in evaluating solar heating technology in the aspects of its capital cost and potential for recovery of investment. Whether or not American consumers will fully exploit this alternative will depend upon interest rates, the allocation of capital to finance the higher initial cost of solar energy devices, and the willingness of lenders to venture into this new technology. Discussed are energy costs as a factor of conventional loan evaluation and life cycle costing. A case study of the latter is included. A program proposal for solar heating loans is described. (MA)
