The End of Energy Star and the §45L Tax Credit? Proposed Legislation Threatens Key Programs

The §45L Tax Credit and EnergyStar are currently intertwined. Losing one jeopardizes the other, significantly impacting our ability to build energy-efficient homes. The §45L credit is crucial for our industry’s financial viability and environmental progress. Losing EnergyStar would severely hinder our ability to build sustainable housing. The §45L Tax Credit is our country’s last remaining federal incentive for residential builders.

Please contact your lawmakers immediately to support both the §45L tax credit and EnergyStar at https://usgbc.quorum.us/campaign/123094/

Your urgent action is needed. Encourage your team, subcontractors, and those that you work with to participate as well. Every voice matters when it comes to saving jobs and cutting taxes.
