Don’t Supersize Me: Smaller Homes for Net-Zero

Release Date: 04/22/2022

Home buyer preferences, building codes and government incentives are at odds with the path to a net-zero carbon economy. America’s residential housing energy requirements contribute roughly 20% of total US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Despite efforts towards energy efficiency and lower embedded carbon, average house sizes in the US and the world are increasing. A glaring example are “McMansions,” ostentatious 3,000+ square foot homes that prioritize size and impressive curb appeal over quality and longevity, and satisfy homebuyer preferences for larger living spaces to accommodate home offices and gyms.

ESG is part of our DNA and integrated into all portfolios

By including ESG criteria in the screening as well as fundamental evaluation of securities considered for all Promethos portfolios, our strategies are consistent with the principles and rules associated with socially responsible and ESG investing. Clients should expect both good stewardship as well as a reasonable return on investment--these objectives are not incompatible. Our process is designed to build portfolios that align with client values, while seeking to deliver returns around the alpha potential in those values using our rigorous investment process.
