Under the Inflation Reduction Act 2022, a program called 45L allows for up to $5000 per single-family home or multifamily housing unit to achieve the DOE Zero Energy Ready Certification or lower amounts for Energy Star Homes Certification. Join GreenHome Institute as they talk with a tax credit consultant and energy rater to learn more about this program and get your questions answered.

Bonus: This webinar will briefly discuss 179D as well, focusing on existing and commercial properties. Prior experience would help you understand the DOE Zero Energy Ready Program better. You can review version 2 DOE Zero here.
