PROJECT OVERVIEW
This privately owned workshop was designed and constructed using high energy-efficient technologies, Cooper lighting LED Fixtures, Trane gas-powered electric Roof Top Units (RTUs), and Powrmatic air turnover units.
Making the correct capital improvements on your building can be essential to the amount of energy cost savings you will achieve. Improved indoor air quality (IAQ), occupant wellness, and lower maintenance costs are just a few other benefits associated with the correct systems. The construction measures made on this warehouse allowed them to achieve a significant 53% in energy cost savings.
The successful implementation and upgrade to various systems have made the designer of the EECBP eligible for a §179D Tax Deduction of $432,010.64.
