Insulation Contractors Endorse Bipartisan SAVE Act
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Insulation Contractors Association of America (ICAA) endorsed the SAVE Act, a bipartisan effort to encourage homeowners to install greater levels of insulation and other energy-saving measures, thereby invigorating home construction and renovation.
Introduced last fall by Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Johnny Isakson (R-GA), the SAVE (Sensible Accounting to Value Energy) Act would instruct federal loan agencies and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a new appraisal process that reflects actual home energy costs, creating higher demand for energy efficient homes at zero-dollars fiscal impact. The SAVE Act has been endorsed by a broad-based coalition of business, energy, and environmental advocates, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers to the Green Builders Council and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
