The Inflation Reduction Act provides versatile tax incentives for businesses and individual property owners, including grants and low-cost financing. "It's not like you have to just pick one. You can get a couple of different tax incentives for the same project. Let's say you're renovating a building and you're also adding some rooftop solar. You can get tax incentives for each of those." - Ben Evans, USGBC. #USGBCAdvocacy https://bit.ly/3X1cslx

USGBC's Center for Green Schools is one of five recipients of a $34 million grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address indoor air pollution in schools. "With this grant, we aim to expand our existing, successful program to provide training to at least 1,000 additional school district staff, which will have an enormous impact on communities that lack resources to improve the learning environments for their student and teachers to thrive and lead to improved student outcomes." - Anisa Heming. https://bit.ly/3yYfkYn

LEED Innovation credits and pilot credits help project teams align with an organization's missions, values, and goals with tools to track metrics for existing practices and refine current policies. In the latest form USGBC+, #LEED Fellow Heather DeGrella details the strategies used to meet human health and wellness goals. "Health-focused credits in LEED offer teams many ways to promote physical, mental and social well-being outcomes. With so many to choose from, I have found it incredibly helpful to establish specific health goals tailored to a project, early in the design process, to guide the team in making intentional selection of credits." - Heather DeGrella, Opsis Architecture https://bit.ly/4cI55Wg
