Federal tax deductions for businesses
Businesses can take a tax deduction for new or renovated buildings by reducing the energy costs associated with three components: lighting systems; building envelope; and heating, cooling and water heating equipment. Buildings must meet the ASHRAE 90.1-2001 standard and be placed in service by Dec. 31, 2013 to be eligible. For details on this federal tax deduction, visit this website.
