Logistics Centers
Business: A large logistics company with over 100 warehouses nationwide.
Location: A new logistics center in a major metropolitan area.
Energy-efficient upgrades: NTG’s team began by conducting the required energy simulation to verify the deduction. They then communicated with building owners to explain the deduction and obtain all required documentation. They also worked with qualified engineers and contractors to complete
inspections and testing. Finally, NTG provided tax consulting to verify the deductions and oversee the tax filing process. The warehouse installed a number of energy-efficient upgrades, including LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and a solar panel system. The warehouse was able to claim a $5 million 179D deduction for the energy-efficient upgrades.
