You’re invited !
Spotlight Topic:
Incentives and Rebates
Federal tax credits are changing, what might take their place….What are we doing about it !?
This event is for builders, contractors, designers and all ‘doers’ involved in high performance construction in Western MA .
Following the success of other BS & Beer events , spun off from the BS & BEER Show podcast, we’re building the community in our region.
The intention and purpose is to provide a space for networking and technical conversation, in the context of a specific building science related topic (and quality beverages) . This kickoff event is admittedly fairly ‘wonky’, but timely as we are all impacted by incentive/rebate changes .
RSVP at form below so we know how many snacks to get (byob)
On October 1 come sip on some bevs, talk building, and get wiser on the incentive landscape
We will have an informal ‘panel’ to kick off the conversations and discussion. These will be short content rich presentations - no powerpoint !
