I'm guessing the question posted is based on the article on the ecohome site:

Stimulate the green home construction industry

Green home tax credits and interest-free loans are the best return on investment for government stimulus.

There is no link or followup to the above statement in the ecohome article so curious what this incentive is and how to aply.
