a lot of different approaches to the incentive. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone run a baseline building for a
retrofit building to qualify a business owner for the Section
179D tax deduction? It seems simple enough to model the
existing building based on ASHRAE 90.1 standards. Has anyone
found any potential “hiccups” along the way that has prevented
the up to $1.80/sq tax deduction aside from the obvious of not
meeting the energy upgrade percentage?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s my main concern. I have a cabinet
manufacturer customer who has a 100,000sf metal building that
is roughly 30% wood working or manufacturing, 65% warehouse
storage and 5% office space. 95% of this facility is heated
only. Do I have to include cooling in the baseline from
ASHRAE 90.1 system 5 on appendix G, table G3.1.1.A? The only
upgrades we are proposing are to take out the air rotation
unit and radiant tube vacuum systems and a few other minor
items.
