§45L & §179D
Section §45L is an Energy Efficient Home Credit that gives developers a credit toward the costs of building energy-efficient single & multifamily properties. This dollar-for-dollar credit offsets taxes owed in the tax year in which the property is leased or sold.
Section §179D is a tax deduction that provides building owners, architects, contractors, and designers a deduction for the installation of systems that reduce the total energy and power costs by 50% in comparison to a building meeting minimum requirements set by ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007.
§45L
Tax Credit for
Residential
Rental
Properties
Section 45L is a federal tax credit for developers and builders of energy-efficient residential properties, such as single-family homes, townhomes, and low-rise multifamily buildings. To qualify, the homes must meet specific energy-saving standards compared to a baseline building, often achieved through better insulation, windows, HVAC systems, and overall design. This credit helps offset construction costs and encourages more energy-efficient housing, benefiting both the environment and long-term homeowners or tenants through lower utility bills.
