Are you thinking about making energy-efficient improvements to your business? If you’re in the midst of renovating your office, warehouse, or another business space of yours, there are many energy incentive programs and tax deductions for commercial buildings that you can take advantage of to get money back for your environment-focused improvements.
Even if you’re just making a few changes to improve your overall work environment, you could save money with one of the many energy incentive programs available in your area and for your use.
What Are Energy Incentive Programs?
Energy incentive programs are a way for the state and national government to make energy efficiency easier to obtain since it is often a costly investment. They are available for both residential and commercial uses. Energy incentive programs help create a better environment on our planet, reduce the need for utilities like oil and gas, and create jobs in our country.
They are a win-win situation for both the person or business who makes the energy-efficient changes and for our environment — which is more important than ever right now. You are rewarded with lower monthly bills in the long run, and you get money back for your investment.
Energy incentive programs provide money back for your initiatives in a variety of forms, including as a rebate, as a tax credit, or as a loan for a specific purchase.
How To Find Them
The Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) is the place to go to browse through the different energy incentive programs that are available. You can search for programs by state and by area, and you can find out what you need to do to qualify for each different incentive.
In Oregon alone, there are more than 100 energy incentive programs. From the Fannie Mae Green Financing Loan Program to the Business Energy Investment Tax Credit and everything in between, there are many options to choose from.
How To Get Incentives
There are many improvements that you can make to your business to qualify for energy incentives, including installing HVAC systems, insulation, lighting, and even commercial garage doors like vinyl roll-up doors, insulated doors, and overhead doors.
While it often requires a large upfront investment to implement some of these energy-efficient improvements into your business, it is one that pays off and pays back. By making energy-efficient improvements, you will increase your bottom line immediately and create a better daily work environment for your employees.
When your building is more energy-efficient, you spend less money maintaining it, and it’s more comfortable to work in.
