This summary from a Better Buildings Residential Network peer exchange call focused on ways to reach out to landlords.

This study looks at evidence of capitalization of energy efficiency features in home prices using data from real estate multiple listing services (MLS) in three metropolitan areas: the Research Triangle region of North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and Portland, Oregon.
