Increasing awareness of the ben-
efits of green building, combined with
a national push for healthier homes and
green jobs, has led to opportunities for
homeowners. Federal tax credits are
available for up to 30 percent of the
cost for various metal and asphalt roofs,
biomass stoves (used for heat or water
heating), increased insulation and more
energy-efficient windows, doors, air
conditioners and water heaters. Details
are available at the government’s Energy
Star website.
More, the the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration is offering Energy Efficient
Mortgages to new homebuyers who
commit to significant energy-saving im-
provements or who purchase an Energy
Star-rated home.
