How to Monetize the Benefit

• Two things need to occur for a company to achieve their EPAct benefit •

1. The building needs to meet the energy efficiency targets • LEDs or efficient T8/T5 Fluorescent lighting • Efficient HVAC systems or controls

2. A building project needs to occur that has significant spend • Major LED projects • Roof replacements • Window replacements • Major HVAC replacements

How do you Qualify?

• Mechanics • Deductions based on improvements over ASHRAE 90.1 2001/2007 • Deduction limited to lesser of what you qualify for or project cost

• Commercial building projects: • Converts cost of 39 year depreciable property to immediate deduction

Example: project cost $195,000, and EPAct deduction of $150,000 • Normally: deduct $5,000 (1/39th of $195K) a year for 39 years • With EPAct: can immediately deduct $150,000 in year 1, and the remaining

$45,000 over 39 years

• Available for installations completed between 1/1/06 & 12/31/16

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers)

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning)

Methods to Qualify

1. Prescriptive Lighting Method (interim lighting rules) • Based on watts/sq.ft., bi-level, foot candles (max $0.60/sq.ft.)

• watts/ft2 must be between 25-40+% better than ASHRAE 90.1.2001/2007

2. Modeling Method / Whole Building Method • Needed to get $1.20/sq.ft. and $1.80/sq.ft. deduction - engineering

model (lighting, HVAC projects) • Overall building energy usage must be a certain percentage better

than that of a reference building • Some buildings are lighting driven (warehouse/industrial) • Some buildings are HVAC driven (hotels, offices, schools)

**A building can qualify for the HVAC and/or envelope deductions

What Tends to Qualify on the HVAC side?

• Geothermal (Ground Source Heat Pumps)

• High Efficiency Water Source Heat Pumps

• Thermal Storage • High Efficiency VRF units in Rental

Apartments/Dorms/Hotels • Centralized HVAC in Rental

Apartments/Dorms/Hotels • Energy Recovery Ventilation • Demand Control Ventilation • VFD’s on all major Motors and

Compressors • Chillers in buildings < 150,000 sq ft

• Direct fired heaters in non AC Industrial Spaces

• Industrial Space >75,000sq ft with Constant Volume Package unit

• VAV (variable air volume devices) in buildings <75,000 sq ft

• Chilled Beam • McQuay Magnetic Bearing Chillers • Smardt Chillers • Arctic Cool Chillers • Gas fired chillers combined with

electric chillers to peak shave • Coolorado in dry climates • Combined Heat and Power
