How the 45L tax credit process works:
The basis for developing and supporting the Section 45L tax credit is a detailed energy analysis by a qualified energy rating firm such as Eco Achievers. Our team of raters and engineers will ensure that you obtain the maximum tax credits and provide you with all the documentation necessary to substantiate your claims in the event of an IRS audit. First, an energy model is developed from architectural plans. Next, field measurement and verification of the building's performance is done using tools such as blower door and duct leakage measurement in order to assess the energy efficiency of the units as built. The field conditions are reconciled with the energy model and a final report is developed showing the unit efficiency and identifying whether it qualifies for the Section 45L tax credit.
