17 May Commercial Buildings Energy Efficiency Tax Deduction
From energy.gov:
“The 179D commercial buildings energy efficiency tax deduction primarily enables building owners to claim a tax deduction for installing qualifying systems and buildings. Tenants may be eligible if they make construction expenditures. If the system or building is installed on federal, state, or local government property, the 179D tax deduction may be taken by the person primarily responsible for the system’s design. The systems and buildings must have been placed in service by December 31, 2016, which is when 179D expires. Deductions are taken in the year in which systems and buildings are placed in service. The 179D tax deduction has been in effect since January 1, 2006.
A tax deduction of $1.80 per square foot is available to owners of new or existing buildings who install (1) interior lighting; (2) building envelope, or (3) heating, cooling, ventilation, or hot water systems that reduce the building’s total energy and power cost by 50% or more in comparison to a building meeting minimum requirements set by ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001 (for buildings and systems placed in service before January 1, 2016) or 90.1-2007 (for buildings and systems placed in service before January 1, 2017). Energy savings must be calculated using qualified computer software, which we link to below.
Deductions of $0.60 per square foot are available to owners of buildings in which individual lighting, building envelope, or heating and cooling systems that partially qualify be meeting certain target levels or through the interim lighting rule. These three compliance pathways are shown in the table below.”
