Bill 117 HR 3324, also known as the Incentivize Residential Energy Efficiency Act of 2021, aims to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings across the United States. The bill proposes a variety of incentives and programs to encourage homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes.
One key provision of the bill is the establishment of a tax credit for homeowners who invest in energy-efficient improvements, such as insulation, windows, and HVAC systems. The tax credit would provide financial assistance to offset the costs of these upgrades, making them more accessible to a wider range of homeowners.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for grants and loans to help low-income households make energy-efficient improvements to their homes. These programs would target communities that are most in need of assistance in reducing their energy consumption and lowering their utility bills.
Furthermore, the bill calls for the creation of a national database of energy-efficient products and services, to help homeowners make informed decisions about the upgrades they choose to make. This database would provide information on the energy savings potential of different products, as well as any available incentives or rebates.
Overall, the Incentivize Residential Energy Efficiency Act of 2021 seeks to reduce energy consumption in residential buildings, lower utility bills for homeowners, and contribute to the overall goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By providing financial incentives and support for energy-efficient upgrades, the bill aims to make it easier for homeowners to invest in a more sustainable future.
