New research from ICF shows that the 2021 IECC beats the 2020 National Green Building Standard (NGBS) on energy performance. Only the Emerald level of the NGBS comes close to comparing. https://lnkd.in/eFsjwEQg

Congratulations to NAIMA President and CEO Curt Rich on his service to the RESNET Board of Directors.

NAIMA has released a new guide that aims to correct misleading #carbon claims made by some cellulose and wood fiber insulation manufacturers. It highlights why commonly available, cost-effective #fiberglass insulation is among the best building materials for low-carbon construction. The guide contains data from recent reports that examine the carbon impacts of various insulation materials during the production stage, use phase, and considerations for the end-of-life cycle for insulation products. By offering transparency and accurate citations, the analysis presented here brings clarity to the topic. #buildingdecarbonization https://lnkd.in/e77R7Hqv

Thank you to all of our veterans for their service. #HappyVeteransDay

A new study from ICF reveals that 89% of homes are under-insulated, creating comfort issues and increasing energy bills. Homeowners now have a major incentive to boost air sealing and insulation using the 25C tax credit, which was increased with the passage of the #InflationReducationAct. https://lnkd.in/dHQHrT5h

Modern energy codes deliver a surprisingly robust return on investment for owners of energy efficient homes. Our latest blog post shares a new infographic that shows the value hashtag #energyefficient codes deliver to homeowners and how the increased cost to deliver an hashtag #energyefficient home can be offset by homebuilder incentives. https://lnkd.in/drMTukT6

Each year, EPA's ENERGY STAR conducts the #RuleYourAttic campaign to remind homeowners how important it is to measure attic insulation and add more if needed. It's a great time to highlight this message and inform homeowners that they can get a tax credit of up to $1,200 for doing the work. #RuleYourAttic runs from Oct. 10 - 31. https://lnkd.in/e4c5uvWg

Most U.S. homes don't have enough #insulation. That's why NAIMA/Insulation Institute is proud to support ENERGY STAR's #RuleYourAttic campaign, encouraging a well-sealed and properly insulated attic. Now is a great time to add #airsealing and #insulation to an attic. And with the 25C tax credit, homeowners can claim up to $1,200 as a credit on their taxes for completing this work. #RuleYourAttic

It's #EEDay2024, a great time to remind people that insulation is the cheapest, most readily available technology for reducing energy usage and carbon emissions. There's enormous potential in retrofitting homes and buildings with #insulation. #SaveEnergy #CutEmissions #SaveMoney #InsulationSaves

Low-income homeowners nationwide pay the highest percentage of their income on energy bills. Leaky homes are the reason. October is #EnergyAwarnessMonth, a good time to highlight the benefits of sealing and insulating homes. https://lnkd.in/gqe_cQpi
