Private Sector | 179D

Commercial Property Owners | 179D

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 05) created an incentive for commercial property owners to implement energy efficient systems into new and existing buildings. The 179D Tax Deduction is an Accelerated Depreciation allowing for property owners to fully deduct the expense of energy efficient systems in year one, subject to a cap. As a result in the downturn of the economy, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 extended the 179D incentive.

Energy Retrofits

With the phase out of T12 lamps and HVAC manufacturers increasing the production of high efficiency equipment, the retrofit market is quickly growing. The decision for property owners to retrofit entire systems becomes easier the quicker the investment returns. The combination of energy savings with tax incentives and rebates helps accelerate that return.
