| State
law prescribes minimum energy conservation standards
for all new construction. Local governments also have
ordinances that impose additional energy conservation
measures on new and/or existing homes. Some local ordinances
impose energy retrofitting as a condition of the sale
of an existing home.
The seller and or agent(s) should disclose to a prospective
buyer the requirements of the various ordinances, as
well as who is responsible for compliance.
Federal law requires that a "new home" seller
(including a subdivider) disclose in every sales contract
the type, thickness, and R-value of the insulation which
has been or will be installed.
Federal Trade Regulation Section 460.16
Public Resources Code Section 25402 et seq.
