Tax Strategy
The Inflation Reduction Act significantly expanded tax incentives for commercial energy efficiency — raising deduction ceilings, adding bonus credits, and opening eligibility to tax-exempt building owners for the first time. Most facilities miss them because nobody on the project team owns the certification work. We do.
Key IRA Programs
Up to $5.00/sq ft in tax deductions for energy-efficient HVAC, lighting, and envelope improvements in commercial buildings. The IRA raised the deduction ceiling and extended eligibility to designers of tax-exempt buildings.
Up to $5,000 per dwelling unit for ENERGY STAR or Zero Energy Ready certified multifamily projects. Available to developers and builders on units placed in service through 2032.
30%+ Investment Tax Credit on solar PV, standalone battery storage, and EV charging infrastructure, with bonus adders for domestic content, energy communities, and prevailing wage compliance.
How We Maximize Your Incentives
We audit your retrofit, new-construction, and renewables pipeline against current IRC §179D, §45L, and §48 criteria to flag every dollar of eligible incentive.
Licensed third-party energy modeling, ASHRAE 90.1 baseline comparisons, and certification packages that hold up to IRS scrutiny.
We work directly with your CPA or tax counsel to deliver the technical documentation, allocation letters, and supporting calculations they need to file.
Incentives stack.
IRA tax deductions and credits stack with utility rebates and Pennsylvania Tier II RECs. The same retrofit can deliver a §179D deduction, a prescriptive utility rebate check, and a multi-year REC revenue stream — but only if every program is claimed correctly in the right window.
Share project specs and we'll model the IRA incentives, utility rebates, and REC revenue available before you file.
