Learn about the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and the new incentives for reducing building energy use, including new Federal tax incentives for lighting, lighting controls, HVAC, and the building envelope.

The combination of energy cost savings, rebates and the new Federal tax incentives is causing companies to substantially increase energy-reducing building equipment investments.
