Energy Star Transition and Its Effect on NAHB Members
The Energy Star program, a longstanding voluntary energy efficiency initiative run by the EPA, may be at risk of elimination, raising concerns among home builders and policymakers. NAHB is closely monitoring the situation, as Energy Star certifications are tied to various incentives and tax credits, including the Section 45L credit. The potential removal of the program could disrupt utility rebates and further threaten energy-related tax credits already under congressional review.
