Lighting Contractor Advantages
Energy Policy Act Brings New Tax Incentives
Lighting Contractors who provide energy certification for their clients have the potential to secure more jobs
and receive tax savings due to the 2005 Energy Policy Act?
Benefits Summary
Lighting contractors receive significant operational benefits as a result of the 2005 Energy Policy Act and its recent extension for these main reasons:
- Commercial building owner clients of lighting contractors are eligible for a tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot for the installation of energy saving systems into new or existing construction. By advising clients to incorporate energy-efficient lighting systems into buildings to save tax dollars, lighting contractors are realizing in creased client satisfaction and loyalty.
- Direct allocation of the Federal tax deduction (a partial deduction of $.60 per square foot) to lighting contractors for the installation of energy saving lighting systems in new or existing public buildings owned by a Federal, state or local government.
- Lighting contractors with the knowledge of these tax benefits are able to bid Public Building projects much more competitively and as we see an increase in Public Building production to stimulate the economy, this can be a significant tool in successfully winning bids.
