In either case, a garage door that improves the (1) weather barrier

Obviously, giving a tax credit for a door on an uninsulated garage
wouldn't make sense.


In my view, neither would an insulated garage door. Even if an attached
garage, what's the R value of 20 feet of dead air? Whatever the insulation
on the door might be, it's got to be negligible in comparison.


Unless it's a completed sealed garage, with an air lock system between
the house and the garage, I seriously doubt it's dead air.
