We are all aware that owners of energy efficient homes get various incentives from the federal government – higher tax credits for solar water heaters, solar panels, windows, air conditioning, heavy duty insulation etc. The FHA, will henceforth, offer 5% larger mortgages to people who are planning to renovate their homes and make it energy efficient. Also, the House of Representatives have passed a energy conservation and emissions control bill which includes creating incentives for federal agencies and consumers who plan to build energy efficient dwellings.
