Cash for Caulkers – The Definitive Guide To The Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010

Guest blogger Houston Neal Writes; 
 
The greatest barrier to widespread adoption of "green" retrofits is arguably the cost. Homeowners, landlords and building owners all want proof that their investment will return a high yield in the future. Cash for caulkers will hopefully be the impetus for change.

Earlier this summer the House of Representatives passed the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010. Commonly known as "cash for caulkers," the bill provisions $6 billion for energy-efficient or “green” retrofits. It is expected to fund renovations for 3 million families, create 168,000 new jobs and save consumers $9.2 billion on energy bills over the next 10 years.

The Home Star bill still needs to be approved by the Senate, but in the meantime, homeowners need to "do their homework." There are 13 different types of retrofits described in the bill. Each has unique requirements and rebate amounts.

Construction Software Advice recently put together a comprehensive guide on the Home Star bill. In their article, "Cash for Caulkers – The Definitive Guide To The Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010," they break out the retrofit requirements into an easy-to-read table. They have also combined similar retrofits into three packages. They suggest these will help homeowners get the best bang for their buck.
