What is the 179D Tax Deduction?
The 179D tax deduction is a federal tax incentive designed to encourage the construction and renovation of energy-efficient commercial buildings. It allows property owners, or the primary designers (architects, engineers, contractors) in the case of government-owned buildings, to claim a deduction for installing qualifying energy-efficient systems. This includes improvements to interior lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, and the building envelope (roof, walls, windows, foundation).
