SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. 

L. 109–58) authorized the EnergyEfficient Commercial Buildings Tax 

Deduction for expenses incurred for 

qualified energy efficient building 

investments made by a building owner. 

In government-owned buildings, the 

government may allocate this deduction 

to the person or persons primarily 

responsible for designing the qualified 

improvements and this can provide 

significant incentive for contractors to 

meet or exceed energy reduction 

requirements. 

In the event that a contractor requests 

allocation of the tax deduction from an 

agency, the agency can use the GSA 

Policy on Energy Efficient Commercial 

Buildings Tax Deduction as an 

information resource for allocating the 

deduction.

GSA Bulletin 2011–OGP–1 

TO: Heads of Federal Agencies 

SUBJECT: Information on GSA Policy 

on Energy Efficient Commercial 

Buildings Tax Deduction 

1. What is the purpose of this 

bulletin? This bulletin informs all 

agencies incurring expenses for energy 

efficient building investments made in 

government-owned buildings of useful 

information available to them from 

GSA’s Policy on Energy Efficient 

Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction 

(developed and used by GSA’s Public 

Buildings Service). 

2. What is the background of this 

bulletin? The Energy Policy Act of 2005 

(Pub. L. 109–58) authorized the EnergyEfficient Commercial Buildings Tax 

Deduction for expenses incurred for 

qualified energy efficient building 

investments made by a building owner. 

The deduction may be taken in the year 

the energy-efficient improvements are 

placed in service. In government-owned 

buildings, the government may allocate 

this deduction to the person or persons 

primarily responsible for designing the 

qualified improvements. The Emergency 

Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 

(Pub. L. 110–343) extended this 

deduction through December 31, 2013. 

The provisions authorizing the 

deduction are codified in the 26 U.S.C. 

§ 179D. 

The Energy-Efficient Commercial 

Buildings Tax Deduction is a significant 

financial incentive for contractors to 

meet or exceed an agency’s energy 

reduction requirements for new and 

existing buildings. In the event that a 

contractor requests allocation of the tax 

deduction from an agency, the agency 

can use GSA’s Policy on Energy 

Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax 

Deduction as an information resource 

for allocating the deduction. 

3. Where can my agency find 

additional information on the policy? 

Additional information about GSA’s 

Policy on Energy Efficient Commercial 

Buildings Tax Deduction and its 

implementation can be found at http:// 

www.gsa.gov/portal/content/221677. 

4. Whom should I contact for further 

information? Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS) guidance on the allocation of the 

Energy Efficient Commercial Building 

Tax Deduction for government-owned 

buildings is set forth in Notice 2008–40, 

Internal Revenue Bulletin 2008–14, 

‘‘Amplification of Notice 2006–52; 

Deduction for Energy Efficient
