Build Smarter, Save More
As a builder and owner of a new duplex, you can take advantage of significant tax credits and financial incentives by constructing an energy-efficient property. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Section 45L Tax Credit rewards builders who meet ENERGY STAR or Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) certification standards, helping you save thousands while delivering high-performance homes.
What Are the Available Tax Credits?
By incorporating energy-efficient materials and systems into your duplex, you can qualify for:
$2,500 per unit ($5,000 total for a duplex) when certified under the ENERGY STAR for New Homes program.
$5,000 per unit ($10,000 total for a duplex) when certified as a Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH).
These credits directly reduce your tax liability, meaning you pay less in taxes for each energy-efficient home you build.
How Do the Tax Credits Work?
1) Plan Your Build for Energy Efficiency – Design your duplex to meet ENERGY STAR or ZERH standards.
2) Work with a Certified HERS Rater – A RESNET-certified HERS Rater will inspect and verify energy performance.
3) Get Certified – Your rater will submit documentation confirming compliance with tax credit requirements.
4) Claim Your Credit on IRS Form 8908 – Apply the credit to your tax bill and carry forward any unused credit to future tax years.
What Features Qualify for Tax Credits?
To meet the requirements for 45L tax credits, your new duplex should include:
✔ High-Performance Insulation & Air Sealing – Meets or exceeds 2021 IECC standards.
✔ ENERGY STAR-Certified Windows & Doors – Reduces energy loss and improves indoor comfort.
✔ Efficient HVAC Systems – High SEER heat pumps or furnaces for lower energy consumption.
✔ Heat Pump Water Heaters – ENERGY STAR-rated for optimized energy use.
✔ 100% LED Lighting & Energy-Efficient Appliances – Reducing overall energy demand. ✔ Solar-Ready Design (For ZERH) – Prepped for future solar panel installation.
Additional Savings & Grants
In addition to tax credits, you may qualify for:
1) Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) – Covers up to 30% of the cost of insulation, HVAC, and windows.
2) State & Local Utility Rebates – Pennsylvania’s Act 129 offers incentives for energy-efficient upgrades.
3) Green Financing Options – Special mortgage rates for energy-efficient rental properties.
Why Choose Energy-Efficient Construction?
Increase Property Value – Energy-efficient homes attract buyers and renters looking to lower their utility costs.
Lower Operating Costs – Reduce energy bills for both you and your tenants.
Sustainable & Future-Proof – Stay ahead of evolving energy codes and market demand.
Maximize Tax Benefits – Take advantage of federal incentives that may not be available indefinitely.
