NIA's First Podcast! You Need to Listen to This!
Listen to NIA's EVP/CEO Michele M. Jones and Kenny Freeman on The Freeman Report Podcast explain why insulation is overlooked, and then factually show how the simplest insulation project produces more energy, dollar, and carbon emissions savings than lighting and other commonly used options. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the energy field looking to save energy or reduce carbon emissions.

NIA Is Advocating for Our Members and the Industry
NIA Opposes the STORM Act Technical Corrections Bill
NIA joined industry group in opposition to provisions regarding building codes in the Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation (STORM) Technical Corrections Act, HR 5673, as it passed the House of Representatives. Far from technical corrections, this act would weaken important language on building codes in the STORM Act. Read the letter.

NIA Joins Broad Coalition to Oppose Congressional Tax Policy
NIA and nearly 200 organizations sent a letter to Congressional leaders to oppose two tax policies under consideration that would affect millions of small businesses by expanding the 3.8% NET Investment Income Tax (NIIT) and limiting small, individually, and family-owned businesses to fully deduct their losses during an economic downturn. Read the letter.
Safety Update
July is Extreme Heat Safety Month. OSHA recommends that employers implement a heat illness prevention program as part of their safety and health management system and ensure workers know what to do if someone shows the signs of heat illness.
