Commercial Tax Program

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides substantial tax deductible benefits for energy efficient building practices in new and retrofit commercial buildings.  

Tax Deduction for Commercial Builders, Building Owners, Building Tennants:
The Federal Commercial Building Tax Deduction can be from $0.60 - $1.80 per square foot of building floor depending upon the percentage of reduction in energy and power costs. There are three categories of projects that the Energy Policy Act of 2005 acknowledges: interior lighting, HVAC/ hot water and building envelope.  

To achieve the maximum $1.80 deduction, energy reduction must be at least 50%. If a building achieves less than 50% but greater than 16?% it may qualify for up to a $0.60 deduction per square foot of building floor. In order to claim the deduction, the taxpayer must obtain a certification that the required energy savings will be achieved. The certification of energy savings must be completed by a qualified individual and contain all supporting documentation outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The certification is held by the taxpayer and must be made available upon request of an audit.

Solution:
Fomo Products, Inc offers an expansive product mix that can help to meet the reductions in energy outlined above. Our Handi-Brand products specifically our Handi-Foam Spray Foam systems are most commonly used as insulation, to stop air infiltration, and to seal the building envelope. The use of Fomo’s spray foam systems in critical spaces within the building envelope will optimize energy savings by tightening and sealing potential areas where air infiltration occurs. These foam options help to improve indoor air quality, lower heating and cooling costs, and drastically reduce energy consumption.
