The SMARTER Finance for Families initiative knows that keeping your home healthy, comfortable and affordable is key to living well.
Did you know that over 8,000 new homes have been registered and certified green in Ireland, Czech Republic, Italy and Romania. The SMARTER initiative aims to drive change in the finance and green certification of new sustainable homes.

When your home is certified green:
- It’s comfortable all year round – it’s airy not draughty, warm not stuffy
- You pay less each month because you save on utility bills, healthcare, home repairs and fuel. Annual savings for green homes can be equal to one or two mortgage payments per year.
- It’s quiet indoors – there’s less noise from neighbours with well insulated walls and floors
- You experience bright daylight streaming in, giving you a sense of wellbeing and helping you to sleep better at night
- Everyday activities and public transport connections are easily accessed
- Waste recycling facilities are nearby
- Your home has a better resale value
- Your home has been constructed with care for resources and the environment
Backed by the European Commission’s EU H2020 programme, 17 organisations from 14 countries have come together to make this change. Join us to realise our vision for a world where we all live in high-quality healthy homes that are comfortable and affordable while enhancing the planet’s prosperity.
