$5000 tax credit for a ZERH home that may cost $400k to build. Just from an incentive pov is it enough to swing the needle? Most probably I am glossing over something.
- Ancalagon 4y agoYeah I'm laughing at this too. With land prices being what they are, this just means builders will make only luxury multi-million dollar homes with these codes in mind.
- ortusdux 4y agoMy take on this is that they are making the equivalent of an Energy Start certification for housing. In theory, having this cert should raise the value of the house. I view the $5k as a way to offset the cost of applying.
- dahfizz 4y agoFor someone already wanting to build a house, maybe. You're probably already going to insulate because it pays for itself. The tax credit makes it possible to go the extra mile.
