Did you know that architects and engineers may be eligible for a federal tax benefit of up to $1.80 per square foot for the design of energy-efficient public or government-owned buildings placed into service after January 1, 2006? Benefits originally awarded to architects and engineers through the 2005 Energy Policy Act have recently been extended through December 31, 2013.

Please join Clifton Gunderson at the Ritz Carlton, Denver for a luncheon on Wednesday, May 19, 2010, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. MT to learn more about the 179D tax deduction and the benefits it could provide to your business.

This educational program is approved by the U.S. Green Building Council for one hour of continuing education credit (qualifies for LEED Professional Credential maintenance).

After attending this session, you will be able to identify:

• The qualification requirements for the Sec 179D deduction
  • Energy Efficiency Performance Requirements
  • Type of Construction
• How the Sec 179D deduction differs from LEED certification
• How a designer of government buildings can benefit from the Sec 179D deduction
