Can a Realtor call an older home energy efficient without third-party certification?

YOU CAN NOT CALL A HOME ENERGY EFFICIENT JUST BECAUSE IT HAS NEW WINDOWS, EXTRA INSULATION OR A NEW A/C UNIT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN TESTED BY ENERGY RATER

GreenHomeGuide.
This would be false advertising on the Realtor.

Without doing an energy audit a realtor does not know if the new windows added and the so called extra insulation is really saving any energy. In my area realtors like to use these buzz words to add to their listing. These are realtors who are uneducated on a true green home and the procedure to making a true green or energy efficient home in Thomasville, GA. And when taking about a 1930 or 1960 home you have to take many to remove all toxic materials, like mold, Lead base paint, and let’s not forget asbestos. These are main concerns when remodeling a 1930 or 1960 even in the 1970 home. If these issues are not taken care of by the right agency and documented I would not even consider buying a remodeled old home.
