179D Today and Tomorrow: The Future of Greenbuilding Tax Initiatives

Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us for a discussion of the section 179D Deduction and how it can benefit Architectural firms. We will be discussing the background of this powerful green building deduction as well as the recent changes created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

This webinar will include details about both the expansion and the increased impact of 179D in future years. We will also discuss the alternative qualification path known as the Retrofit Program and what this new path means for Architects, building owners, and other designers of buildings. Attendees will also learn who is eligible to receive these benefits, what is required as part of the qualification calculations, and which green energy strategies are eligible. We hope you join us for this exciting discussion on the future of the 179D green energy tax incentive!
