The budget reconciliation bill undermines federal green building policy
A new federal law signed by President Trump repeals several long-standing clean energy tax incentives that supported green building investments, including credits for energy-efficient homes, solar and wind projects. While some incentives for geothermal and energy storage remain, the law also rescinds billions in unspent Inflation Reduction Act funds tied to sustainable building programs and environmental grants. The U.S. Green Building Council opposed the changes and plans to continue advocating for green building policies at all levels of government.
