What You Need To Know

Energy Star Certification
Do you need ENERGY STAR certification to get Section 45L tax credits? In many cases, the issue is not simply certification, but whether the project meets the applicable program requirements and energy-performance baseline. Apollo Energies can help evaluate the pathway and identify the documentation needed for your project.
Energy modeling and parametric analysis may help determine whether your project can qualify for available tax credits, rebates, or other energy-efficiency incentives.

Prevailing Wage
Section 45L tax credits for multifamily projects and Section 179D tax deductions for commercial buildings may require prevailing wage compliance to receive the higher incentive. Prevailing wage is task-based, which means some project teams may already be closer to compliance than they realize.
Apollo Energies can help evaluate prevailing wage considerations alongside energy-efficiency documentation, building-performance analysis, and incentive strategy.

How To Qualify for Section 45L Tax Credits
Section 45L tax credits can support qualifying residential and multifamily projects that meet energy-efficiency requirements. Depending on project type, timing, and compliance pathway, credits may increase when projects meet higher performance standards or prevailing wage requirements.
Apollo Energies helps project teams evaluate qualification, model energy performance, and identify opportunities to capitalize on additional incentives.

Multifamily Property Incentives
Multifamily projects may qualify for enhanced 45L tax credits when energy-performance, program, and prevailing wage requirements are satisfied. A multifamily energy audit can create the baseline needed to evaluate savings, upgrade opportunities, and incentive qualification.
