Single-Family Green MBS
Single-Family Green Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) are another demonstration of Fannie Mae's commitment to leading and innovating in green finance.
Fannie Mae issues Single-Family Green MBS, which include either purchase money or refinance mortgage loans backed by newly constructed single-family residential homes receiving approved green building certifications within the last five years.
Eligible Properties
Fannie Mae requires the ENERGY STAR® Certification for New Homes (Residential) designation as a baseline for loans underlying its Single-Family Green MBS because the certification is recognized for its:
- Nationally and globally distinguished standard for energy efficiency;
- Achievement of at least 10% more efficiency than homes built to code and a 20% improvement on average; and,
- Independent verification by trained and certified Home Energy Rating Companies.
Fannie Mae partners with PEG, LLC to independently verify that all properties underlying the MBS received the certifications.
Future Single-Family Green MBS issuances may include other eligible green building certifications.
