I had an 8x10 porch built which covers my back door and kitchen windows. Does this qualify as an Energy Efficiency Improvement by IRS standards?

From what I've found online it does not qualify unfortuantly.
"The credit applies to improvements such as adding insulation, energy efficient exterior windows and energy-efficient heating and air conditioning systems."

I do not believe that would qualify. Only the materials qaulifies for the credit.
