payback time $1,500 energy assessments before you sell

[Amadio]

Little confusing... so it seems the person renting out an IP would pay for it then, and not the landlord?

What I meant was that the tenant would end up paying in the form of increased rent to cover the LL cost of the audit.

This whole audit thing sounds pretty outrageous, not only in the expense but in that it doesn't seem to have been thought through properly. In the releases so far, it has said that the cost is up to $1500, so maybe that means that a building like a multistory apartment block is $1500 and a small home $40. Who knows.

The devil will be in the details.

agreed. it's awesome for the govt, they can fulfill environmental targets whislt handing the bill to rich greedy landlords.

And generate more work for those doing the audits, we will no doubt see a lot of these companies spring up as per the roof insulation companies of recent times

If the energy audit is only required once and they are assuming it is passed onto the tenant, how are they expecting that to work?
