GE Launches Its Most Efficient Water Heater

Ask builders or architects what the best kind of insulation is, and you’ll likely hear some strong opinions. From R-values to ease of installation, clean-up requirements, cost and other factors, they’ll tell you why their preferred material is tops. Of course, each insulation manufacturer will also say their products are best.
But the reality is, the most accurate answer is, “it depends.” The appropriate insulation varies by the specific project, structural framing type, budget and various other factors. In many cases, using multiple insulations in combination enables the most energy-efficient homes and buildings.

The Stage Coach Apartments project is a participant in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, a resource provided through the IRS. The program provides federal income tax credits to individuals or organizations developing affordable housing through either new construction or acquisition and rehabilitation. The tax credits provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the developer’s tax liability for a ten year period. To receive tax credits, a developer must set aside and rent-restrict a number of units for occupancy by households that earn below 60% of the area median income. These units must remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years.
