In August 2005, the first national energy bill in more than a decade was signed into law. It contains tax incentives to encourage energy efficiency and conservation in America’s homes and buildings. It includes energy efficiency tax incentives for making improvements to new and existing homes, manufactured homes and commercial buildings.

With energy costs skyrocketing, these tax incentives will help homeowners and builders make improvements to new and existing homes and buildings, which account for more than 40% of all energy used in the US.
