The Project

Barry, a business developer for an Energy Services Company, proposed a renewable and energy-efficiency retrofit for an existing 30,000-square-foot medical complex.

The project included mechanical and lighting upgrades as well as a solar array.  Below are the project specifics.

 

Original 5-Year Benefit

Barry's original proposal looked decent. After factoring in the energy and tax savings, the net project cost over the first 5 years was $61k with a 5.9-year payback period.

  Original Enhanced Value Add
  Total Project Costs:  $1,100,000   $1,100,000 $0
  Energy & Maint. Cost Savings:   ($482,000)  ($482,000)   $0
 Tax Savings:  ($557,000)   ($949,000)  $392,000 
 Net Project Costs: $61,000 ($331,000) $392,000
       
 Simple Payback (In Years): 5.9 3.1 2.8

 

Enhanced 5-Year Benefit

The enhanced proposal, facilitated by the FixedAsset.tax Partner Network yielded an additional $392k in tax savings.  Resulting in a 5-year net project cost of -$331k.  

This project is now a winner.

The tax savings were accomplished through a combination of the 179D deduction, the Low-Income Investment Tax Credit Adder, increasing the eligible basis through the dual-use ITC rules and the Partial Asset Disposition Deduction
