U.S. Energy Programs

EPACT 2005

The "Commercial Building Tax Deduction" establishes a tax deduction for energy efficient building expenditures made by a building owner. A tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot is available to owners of new or existing commercial buildings that save at least 50% of the heating and cooling energy of a building that meets ASHRAE Standard 90.1. Partial deductions of up to $.60 per square foot can be taken for measures affecting any one of three building systems: the building envelope, lighting, or heating and cooling systems. These tax deductions are available for systems placed in service from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013. Hawkeye Energy Solutions will work with state and federal agencies to maximize incentives for your projects.

USGBC (Leed Points)

Energy monitoring goes hand in hand with United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED certification. A maximum of 10 points is available for LEED certification with the ability to monitor and optimize energy usage. Installing a monitoring system alone is worth 1 point for measurement and verification.

U.S. Department Of Energy

The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) has many programs for United States Industry. One example is a program called 'BestPractices'. BestPractices is a program within the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) of the DOE that supports a mission to improve energy efficiency. Hawkeye Energy Solutions can help you find and use these valuable DOE resources.
