Green Jobs Where Are They Rebuilding the Future Series Video 1

During our EnergyARM launch seminar we graphically illustrated that retrofitting buildings in the USA will likely create more jobs and wealth than the housing boom, provided that we proceed correctly. This means that energy audits and home energy ratings will have to rapidly evolve from a niche market into a national commodity while maintaining professional credibility. Moreover, we must use the stimulus funds to 'stimulate' an entirely new energy retrofit industry that is sustainable and robust. This means that we will need to create an energy improvement marketplace that utilizes energy mortgages, venture capital and other financial mechanisms. National long-term growth and stability depends on a healthy and vibrant private sector.
