Are grants and incentives available for the construction of energy efficient new homes?
The program does not apply to new construction because they are already quite efficient. You may also want to consider contacting Home Builder’s Associations and Utilities for information on local and regional programs and incentives. A house is considered new construction up to six months after the builder has transferred the house to the homeowner. When a home is built by the owner, it is considered new up to six months following the certificate of completion by the local inspector.
There are currently no grants or incentives being offered at the federal level. However, there are several regional grants and incentives available for homebuyers and homebuilders. Check our list of grants and incentives to see if any apply to you.
