The Property Manager’s Guide to Energy Inspection Compliance in Ann Arbor

Rental license renewals in Ann Arbor now come with a new checklist: energy efficiency. Thanks to the city’s Green Rental Housing Ordinance, passed in June 2025, all rental properties must prove energy improvements before the next rental inspection. Koala Insulation of Greater Ann Arbor is here to help property managers comply quickly and confidently.

The Two Paths to Compliance

Landlords have two main options:

• HERS Rating: A professional audit must show a HERS score of 110 or less.
• Prescriptive Checklist: Points are earned by upgrading insulation, sealing ducts, installing energy-efficient appliances, and more.
