FHA PowerSaver Pilot

In November, HUD announced the availability of the new PowerSaver Pilot program, which provides FHA insurance on loans up to $25,000 for single-family homeowners to undertake energy-saving improvements and/or installation of renewable energy technologies.    

More information and analysis is available via the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, NRDC, and National Association of State Energy Officials.    

Do any Forum members have thoughts on how this improves on earlier lending instruments and/or additional improvements to be made? Any analyses that should be added to this thread?
