About Renew Missouri Homes
The Missouri Department of Natural- Division of Energy resources established a state certificate for high-performing homes and invited Renew Missouri, a 501(c)(3) focused on clean energy policy, and Pearl Certification to assume management of that certificate and lead development of the supporting program. Renew Missouri Homes is the programmatic result of that partnership.
The Renew Missouri Homes program launches in key Missouri cities on October 1, 2022 and builds upon the existing Pearl Certification and Renew Missouri networks to:
- Help Missouri homeowners find contractors who can improve the quality of their homes;
- Certify Missouri homes with an official state certification if they meet the program’s energy efficiency standards;
- Make homes with a Missouri Certification available on an online registry to support proper valuation;
- Create a market infrastructure for improving Missouri homes and ensuring they are properly valued by recruiting high-quality contractors, real estate agents and appraisers to support these high-performing homes;
- Connect homeowners with rebates and efficiency programs by zip code.
