OMB Approval Number: 2502-0561.

offers the Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) as an approved mortgage

Section 2123 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA)

can be added to an FHA-insured mortgage for energy efficient
improvements.
The EEM program allows the mortgagors to finance cost-effective
energy efficient improvements to an existing property at the time of
purchase or refinancing, or for upgrades above the established
residential building code for new construction.
