Several building materials manufacturers have introduced products this year that meet the requirements of new federal tax credit programs for home energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems created by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. Custom builders and remodelers alike could potentially win over prospective clients by recommending and installing these money-saving materials and technologies. View REMODELING magazine’s slide show of eight new tax credit-eligible building products here.
