    We highly encourage FHA to incorporate energy efficiency programs but also to go beyond energy efficiency to ensure homes are healthy and durable. Please be sure to include 3rd party rating systems as a way to encourage and guide those to make the homes better. Programs such as a the Home Energy Score, HERS index, Energy Star, LEED for Homes, Enterprise Green Communities, DOE Zero Energy Ready Home, Passive House, GreenStar and Living Building Challenge should all be encouraged.
