The United States Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law in August 2022, is poised to cut energy costs, create good jobs, and transform climate action in the United States. The act includes $369 billion in clean energy and climate investments that will unlock unprecedented opportunity for local governments seeking to accelerate their own climate and energy commitments. The Inflation Reduction Act includes direct savings for households to make crucial, cost-saving energy efficiency improvements to their home. Tax credits will be available as soon as 2023 for energy efficient home improvements such as heat pumps and solar panels. This forum will focus on the opportunities and funding through the Inflation Reduction Act and state funding for energy efficiency and resiliency. Panelists will also discuss the challenges and best practices for incorporating energy efficiency, resiliency and other innovations into housing programs.
