New Rebates for Energy-Efficient "Cool Roofs" in High-Heat Areas.

This bill creates a federal rebate program to help low-to-moderate income households install energy-efficient "cool roof" products. If you live in a high-heat area and meet income requirements, you could receive up to $0.75 per square foot to offset the cost of installation. This aims to reduce household energy bills and improve comfort by reflecting sunlight and lowering indoor temperatures.
