[Equest-users] eQUEST and the IRS

[Marlin Addison]

Pardon any double postings. Other enquires similar to Mark's have been
posted to the bldg-sim and equest-users lists, so I'm providing the
following information to both.

 

Applications for the IRS tax deduction qualified software (based on ASHRAE
standard 140-2007) were submitted to the USDOE for eQUEST v3.63b (submitted
early Sep09) and DOE-2.2 v47d, the simulation engine used in eQUEST v3.63b
(submitted late Sep09). We assume the review process will take a few weeks.
The full application materials, including all ASHRAE standard 140-2007 runs
and results, are available at:

The USDOE's list of Qualified Software for Calculating Commercial Building
Tax Deductions is found at:
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/qualified_software.html 

 

As soon as these appear on the USDOE's list of IRS qualified software, we'll
post an announcement to the equest-users list.

Subject: [Equest-users] eQUEST and the IRS

 

Can anyone enlighten me as to why eQUEST isn't on the approved IRS software
list for calculating commercial building tax deductions?

 

We have a client that is about to remodel their building with an approved
software package, which is an extreme waste of limited modeling resources. 

Seems like it might be cheaper for them to pay for the approval process. Or
get some other to pitch in.
