Commercial Tax Deduction
CBTD-deduction
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, lighting represents 40% of the average commercial building’s electric bill, and according to the Energy Cost Savings Council, energy-efficient lighting projects generate an average 45% return on investment, paying for themselves in just 2.2 years.

The Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction (CBTD) is a special financial incentive created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and designed to reduce the initial cost of investing in energy-efficient lighting and other building systems via an accelerated tax deduction. Who can benefit from the energy tax deduction?
  • The person or organization that pays for construction - including building owner or tenant.
  • Building or renovation must have been put into service after December 31st, 2005.
  • Building must be at least 40,000 sq feet to qualify.
This special tax deduction allows building owners (or tenants) to write off the complete cost of upgrading a building’s indoor lighting, HVAC/hot water and building envelope in the year the new equipment is placed in service, capped at $1.80/sq.ft. Alternately, the owner (or tenant) could upgrade one of these three systems to earn the CBTD capped at $0.60/sq.ft. In short, with the CBTD, the cost of new lighting or other building systems can be claimed in a single tax year instead of amortized over a period of years. CBTD can be claimed for qualifying projects completed before January 1, 2014. Contact NextGenLights today to find out if your commercial project qualifies for the CBTD tax deduction.
