Real Life Examples of Homes Qualifying for Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficient Homes

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 established a federal tax credit for builders for each homes that exceeds the energy performance threshold spelled out in the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code. There has been a question whether builders could economically achieve the energy performance threshold to qualify for the tax credit.

To provide real life examples of homes that have met the tax credit RESNET has posted examples of homes that have qualified for the tax credit in a variety of regions across the nation. In all of the examples the builder worked closely with their certified home energy rater to determine the most cost-effective strategy for meeting the tax credit in their market. The information for each home posted was provided by the tax credit certifier.

RESNET will be updating this site as more examples are submitted so check back often.
