Well, since none of the pros have answered, let me give this
a try.

While there are various credits for installing
energy-efficient windows, insulation and perhaps appliances,
such as furnaces and air conditioners, I don't think they
are any different for new homes than improvements added to
existing homes.

I haven't researched the NYS tax web site, but after filling
our my NY tax return do know there are various energy
efficiency related tax credits.

Are there any tax breaks for NY residents who buy a brand
new home? I live in Long Island and I had my eye on this
brand new house they are building in the neighborhood and
was wondering if I can get any tax breaks if I purchased it.
For example, for installing energy efficient windows,doors,
heating equip, or using energy efficient insulation, etc.
