Default 3M - Tax Credit For Window Film

http://energystar.custhelp.com/cgi-b...i=&p_topview=1


Question
Are window films covered by the tax credit?

Answer
Certain window films - if purchased in 2009 or 2010 - are able to
qualify for the tax credit if the manufacturer certifies that, similar
to insulation, the window film meets the statutory criteria. If the
specific window film satisfies the requirements of a "qualifying
insulation system," and the manufacturer certifies the product as
meeting those requirements, the product is eligible for the tax credit
of 30% of the cost of the window film, up to $1,500.



There is currently no ENERGY STAR label for window films or tints. At
this time, there is an insufficient number of window film products
that have been certified through the National Fenestration Rating
Council (www.nfrc.org) to include them in ENERGY STAR for Windows,
Doors, and Skylights.
