Electrochromic glass is a type of smart glass that can change its light transmission properties to improve energy efficiency in buildings. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means on April 19, 2024, but no further legislative action or full text is available. The bill is categorized under the policy area of Taxation and its status is recorded as Failed / Expired.
H.R. 8095 aimed to extend a tax credit for energy-efficient electrochromic glass but did not advance beyond committee referral and ultimately expired.
- The bill seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code to extend an existing energy credit related to electrochromic glass.
- Electrochromic glass is used to enhance energy efficiency by controlling light and heat transmission in buildings.
- The bill was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means but did not progress further and is now marked as failed or expired.
['Manufacturers and suppliers of electrochromic glass', 'Building owners and developers who install electrochromic glass', 'Energy efficiency and green building sectors']
['Lack of available full bill text limits detailed assessment of implementation mechanisms and funding provisions.', 'No information on the duration or extent of the credit extension is provided, which may affect cost projections.', 'Since the bill did not advance, there is no clarity on oversight or enforcement provisions.']
The bill was introduced in the House during the 118th Congress and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, which handles taxation matters. The absence of further action and its status as failed or expired indicates it did not gain sufficient legislative traction during the session. The bill fits within broader federal efforts to promote energy efficiency through tax incentives.
