September Meeting: Big Beautiful Bill on HVAC
Summary: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has introduced significant changes to federal incentives for commercial building HVAC systems. While the previous Inflation Reduction Act had extended and expanded crucial investment tax credits and energy-efficient commercial building deductions, the OBBA has added new rules and is phasing out some incentives for projects that have not yet begun construction. Notably, the OBBA has increased the first-year bonus depreciation incentive. This presentation will provide a review of the key changes and important dates, with a particular focus on HVAC systems for commercial buildings.Speaker Bio: Mike Filler is a Sustainable Systems Commercialization Leader with Trane Technologies, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
