Please contact me if you are interested in receiving a PDF copy of the January 2012 update to my renewable energy and energy efficiency tax incentive outline. This outline, which I made available to this group last year, provides a comparison chart and summaries of the tax incentives for renewable energy and energy efficiency at the state and federal levels. Send me an email if you have not yet received the update and I'll forward you a PDF of it. Happy New Year! - Jerome

Thank you very much, Jerome, for a most useful information source.  In addition to specific project application, it is interesting to see the history of these programs in the various jurisdictions, including which have been repealed or expired.  An indication of level of enthusiasm?  Or perhaps availability of funding for these purposes?

Thought for forum might like to see additional information regarding passive solar tax credits. This relates to what Jerome posted in the Committee on the Environment forum on the overall energy tax credit summary.

"A few states have some incentives for passive.  AZ, CT, GA, LA, MT, NH, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, SD and UT."

And if you have any say in developing the credits, myself and many others in the energy-efficient industry would love to see passive solar (windows on south facing walls to let in low winter sun and overhangs to keep out the high sun) be a part of  the residential federal tax credits that allow for credits on the more costly active solar and geothermal."

This outline is very enlightening. Next week Illinois AIA members will be meeting with their legislators in Springfield to discuss issues which affect the profession and the communities we serve. This document will be a good reference to show the politicians what other states are doing on issues of energy and incentives.
