What’s Happening?
Buildings play an integral role in our communities, from healthy environments for people to work and play, to reliable shelters for those in need. The federal government has enacted a historic wave of new legislation to help protect these spaces and transform American prosperity for years to come.
Forecasted as the largest investments in infrastructure resiliency, equity and climate action in U.S. history, these interconnected laws commit several billion dollars in funding, incentives and regulations that are already impacting commercial and industrial buildings.
IRA Overview The IRA aims to boost U.S. prosperity by accelerating domestic manufacturing, improving infrastructure resiliency, and advancing equity. Bettering American buildings is a critical element of the IRA, in which energy efficiency, renewable energy, indoor air quality and community decarbonization are priorities.
Estimated Value Over $394 Billion
Effective Date Signed into law August 2022, incentives available now with notable tax incentives expire as soon as 2024

BIL Overview Also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Law (IIJA), the BIL aims to strengthen the nation by improving infrastructure, combating the climate crisis and advancing environmental justice while investing in historically underserved communities.
Estimated Value Over $1.2 Trillion
Effective Date Signed into law January 2022, incentives available now

CHIPS & Science Act (CHIPS Act)
CHIPS Act Overview The CHIPS Act, or Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors Act, aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing, supply chains and security by catalyzing investments into R&D and leading-edge technologies for commercial and industrial buildings.
Estimated Value $280 Billion+
Effective Date Signed into law August 2022, incentives available now
ARPA Overview The ARPA commits funding to help communities recover and bring people back together again, safely, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the ARPA, several institutional funding programs are helping communities improve the reliability, health, and comfort of the buildings Americans rely on most.
Estimated Value $1.9 trillion
Effective Date Signed into law March 2021, incentives available now with obligation deadline of 2026

How it Impacts You
This legislation introduces several solutions to help building owners, organizations and manufacturers make buildings “better” – meaning more reliable, affordable, sustainable and healthier overall.
Each of these laws are already impacting commercial and industrial buildings in unique and interconnected ways. Click through the boxes below to see how.
These incentives offer a once-in-an-era opportunity to:
Encourages local governments to expand regulation of fossil fuel use in commercial buildings. Also extends significant incentives for states to expand local building codes and performance standards for existing and newly constructed commercial buildings.
Commits billions of dollars toward grants, loans and funding to help modernize existing infrastructure throughout the nation. Programs encourage building electrification and decarbonization by funding solutions that improve energy efficiency, optimize demand management, incorporate renewable energy technologies, and reduce air pollution. Select funding highlights:
Public K-12 Schools – $500 million in grant funding for facilities projects that improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency via HVAC, lighting, controls and other solutions.
Public/Private Commercial Buildings – $550 million in Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant Program funding for local governments to redistribute as grants to retrofit commercial buildings to meet updated building codes and improved energy efficiency requirements.
Higher Education Institutions – $10 million to fund new Building Training Assessment Centers’ technical curriculum and program development to train technicians, architects and engineers on implementing building efficiency and decarbonization solutions.
A skilled workforce is critical to the successful execution of infrastructure projects. The legislation also funds training and scholarships for in-demand building operators and service providers on the latest building regulations and energy technologies.
Offers several expanded tax incentives for decarbonizing building retrofits, installing renewable energy technologies, improving whole building performance, and more. Most notably:
Energy Investment Tax Credit (48 ITC) – Now offers a credit value of up to 50% of the total cost of energy property projects that include thermal energy storage, solar, geothermal heat pumps, and more.
Commercial Building Energy Efficiency Tax Deduction (179D) – Now offers up to $5/sq.ft. for commercial building retrofit/new construction that improves energy efficiency by 25% or more.
Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017: Temporarily expanded bonus depreciation of 80% for eligible projects completed between Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2023 – reduced by 20% each subsequent year through Jan. 1, 2027.
Tax-exempt entities are now eligible to receive benefits of select tax incentives through direct pay delivered as a tax refund from the federal government.
U.S. electric utilities award customers over $3 billion in rebates for improving energy efficiency in buildings every year. Today, over 600 existing commercial and industrial building rebate programs offer incentives for installing high-efficiency and electric HVAC technologies (notable for heat pumps and chillers), energy storage, building management systems (controls), lighting and renewable energy solutions.
This recent legislation provides utilities with billions of dollars in additional funding to introduce or expand these rebate programs.
