Building Audits, Lighting and HVAC Efficient Retrofits

Tax Incentives and Utility Rebates

 Currently under Federal law there are substantial tax credits and grants in lieu of tax credits available to building owners who demonstrate their commitment to energy conservation. If you are a building owner/operator that has outdated lighting or has an aging HVAC system, the Federal Government is willing to give you substantial tax incentives to replace (retrofit) your current systems. Coupled with this is another substantial windfall by way of rebates from your local Utility Company. Together these incentives are extremely lucrative and are potent combinations that are just too good to pass up. However these “sweet” programs are time sensitive and are subject to reductions as we move into 2011 and beyond.

Mandates

The flip side to the Governments “sweet green incentives” are the fact that mandates are now in place for certain cities that will force building owners to comply with energy conservation guidelines. If you own older energy guzzling buildings in your portfolio, or are contemplating new construction, be warned, the old adage of “What you don’t know can’t hurt you “certainly does not apply here. Being equipped with the right information can add a substantial amount of money (green, no pun intended) to your bottom line.

 What constitutes outdated or aging equipment?                                                     

Even if you replaced your HVAC or lighting systems within the past five (5) years you could still be a perfect candidate for the new programs.  If navigated properly you could show a return on investment in as little as one (1) year and reduce your energy expenses by as much as fifty percent (50%). This is  money that goes directly into your pocket, not to mention the marketability of an energy efficient buildings.

How we Do It

The key to maximizing these incentives is to make sure the equipment qualifies under the current Federal guidelines and at the completion of the retrofit that your facility now meets the minimum Federal energy reduction standards (Uncle Sam’s energy matrix).

The better your building performs per square foot the more money you get back. Unfortunately this threshold of energy conservation is complex and only realized at the end of the retrofit. So choosing the right equipment in tandem with properly navigating through the design process, along with factoring in your companies specific tax appetite is crucial. This process needs to be orchestrated perfectly in order to receive the maximum benefit.  P2P’s Industry knowledge and expertise will guarantee you the maximum benefit of your retrofit.
