Senators Snowe, Bingaman and
Feinstein introduced the "Cut Energy Bills at Home Act"
which would give up to a $5,000 tax credit for
performance-based
home improvements. The bill, as written, makes biomass
heaters eligible if savings can be calculated with approved
energy
efficiency software packages, such as RESNET, BPI or an
alternative
software. The Alliance for Green Heat is working with Congressional
offices and efficiency standards organizations to ensure
that there
will not be unforseen barriers for biomass heaters.
Currently, most
energy efficiency software does not have sufficient ability
to
analyze performance and savings of biomass heaters.
