April Webinar Series Connects Builders and Remodelers to Federal Incentives for Energy Efficiency
NAHB is hosting a special free webinar series this April to connect home building professionals to federal incentives for energy efficient home construction and improvements made available through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Three separate sessions will respectively focus on incentives for single-family new homes, multifamily new construction and remodelers.
Join staffers from the EPA ENERGY STAR program and the DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes program for a detailed overview of the program requirements and tools available to help your projects achieve eligibility for these incentives.

The ENERGY STAR Program has developed two new offerings that can help home owners and contractors identify how they can best leverage significant increased federal incentives in the IRA:
- ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade: A set of six generally applicable electric efficiency improvements that are designed to work together to deliver significant savings — including a certified heat pump, heat pump water heater, smart thermostat, and windows, plus a well-insulated and sealed attic and electric-ready wiring/panel improvements.
- ENERGY STAR Home Savings Tool: A zip-code based web resource that helps consumers identify the incentives that are available to them for efficient products including utility rebates, federal tax credits, and state rebates.
