As we become increasingly aware of the need to conserve energy and reduce our carbon footprint, many individuals and organizations are exploring ways to implement energy-efficient solutions. One of the most effective and simple solutions is switching to LED lighting. Switching to LED can significantly reduce energy consumption and costs. Did you know that there is a tax incentive available to those who implement energy-saving measures such as LED lighting?
Section 179D of the tax code is known as the Energy Policy Act. It allows building owners and designers to claim a tax deduction for implementing energy-efficient systems in commercial buildings. This includes lighting systems, HVAC systems, and building envelopes. Systems implemented from 2006 to 2023 qualify for the tax deduction. Building owners or designers may claim a deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot of the building’s area.
At Big Shine LED, we understand the importance of taking maximizing energy savings and tax deductions and incentives. These strategies reduce the cost of energy-efficient upgrades. That’s why we offer a photometric design team that is NCQLP lighting certified to ensure that our LED lighting projects meet the 179D requirements, including lighting power density (LPD). Our team works with building owners and designers to provide customized LED lighting solutions that meet the specific needs and requirements of each project.
By switching to LED lighting with the help of our experienced team, you can significantly reduce your energy consumption and costs while also taking advantage of valuable tax incentives. The benefits don’t stop there, however. LED lighting also offers several advantages over traditional lighting systems, including:
- Energy Efficiency: LED lighting uses significantly less energy than traditional lighting systems. This can result in substantial energy savings over time.
- Longevity: LED lighting is extremely durable and can last up to 50,000 hours or more. This means that you won’t have to replace your lighting systems as frequently, resulting in additional cost savings.
- Improved Lighting Quality: LED lighting provides more uniform lighting and better color rendering than traditional lighting systems. LEDs can improve the overall ambiance and functionality of your space.
