    Thought for forum might like to see additional information regarding passive solar tax credits. This relates to what Jerome posted in the Committee on the Environment forum on the overall energy tax credit summary.


    "A few states have some incentives for passive.  AZ, CT, GA, LA, MT, NH, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, SD and UT."

And if you have any say in developing the credits, myself and many others in the energy-efficient industry would love to see passive solar (windows on south facing walls to let in low winter sun and overhangs to keep out the high sun) be a part of  the residential federal tax credits that allow for credits on the more costly active solar and geothermal."
