Section 179D Tax Deduction
Turn your building's efficiency into immediate capital.
The Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction (179D) offers up to $5.00 per square foot for efficiency improvements in lighting, HVAC, and building envelopes (insulation). A 100,000-square-foot warehouse retrofit could yield a $500,000 tax deduction, dramatically offsetting the installation cost.
01 Up to $5.00/sq. ft.
Recent updates allow for a deduction of up to $5.00 per square foot for qualifying energy efficiency improvements in lighting, HVAC, and—crucially for our clients—building envelope (insulation and roofing).
02 The Deadline is Real:
Under the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBBA), the 179D deduction is scheduled to sunset. To lock in this benefit, your project must begin construction by June 30, 2026.
03 The "Designer Allocation" (For Public Projects):
Are you a School Board or Municipality? Since you don't pay federal taxes, you can allocate this deduction to your architect, engineer, or contractor (us!). This allows us to lower our bid price, saving taxpayers money while we utilize the tax benefit. It’s a win-win for public infrastructure.
