Strategic Considerations & Changes for the Section 45L Tax Credit
October 29, 2024The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed Version 3.2 of the ENERGY STAR® Single-Family New Homes program so certified homes can continue to deliver meaningful savings relative to non-certified homes in states that adopt the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Join us for an informative webinar and explore the difference in performance targets between Versions 3.1 and 3.2, the benefits of §45L tax incentives for ENERGY STAR certification, and scenarios that can serve as a starting point to help facilitate compliance. The tax credit is specifically tied to certification relevant to ENERGY STAR or Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program requirements. Learn why these programs' inspection and certification process is critical to implementation.
