Energy-Efficiency Tax Breaks for Builders, Commercial Tenants, Appliance Makers Lower Energy Bills and Federal Taxes

June 12, 2007

WASHINGTON, June 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Thanks to an extension earlier this year of federal tax incentives, home builders and commercial building owners can lower both the energy costs of their buildings for years to come and their federal tax liability through 2008 by incorporating energy efficiency in their properties. Tax breaks also are available for energy- saving improvements to existing commercial buildings through 2008; to manufacturers of high-efficiency refrigerators, clothes washers, and dishwashers produced this year; and to business purchasers of certain hybrid vehicles. Full details are spelled out at http://www.energytaxincentives.org/, a website developed by the Alliance to Save Energy and other energy-efficiency organizations.
