Indiana may be known for its basketball and tenderloin sandwiches, but did you know it’s also making moves in green building incentives? As sustainability gains momentum, commercial property owners and investors in Indiana have more opportunities than ever to benefit from eco-friendly developments. Here’s what you need to know about Indiana’s push for greener buildings—and how it can save you money.
Tax Credits and Rebates
The Indiana Commercial Solar Incentive Program and various local initiatives provide tax credits and rebates for property owners who implement energy-efficient systems. If you’re thinking about installing solar panels, LED lighting, or energy-efficient HVAC systems, you could qualify for thousands of dollars in savings.
LEED Certification Perks
If you’re developing or retrofitting a building, achieving LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification isn’t just good for the environment—it can increase property values and attract high-quality tenants. Many Indiana cities offer fast-tracked permitting and tax abatements for LEED-certified projects.
Property Tax Deductions
Indiana offers property tax deductions for energy-efficient upgrades. From geothermal heating systems to high-efficiency insulation, these deductions can significantly reduce your annual tax liability while increasing your building’s long-term value.
Utility Incentives
Indiana utility companies provide cash rebates and reduced rates for commercial buildings that incorporate energy-efficient appliances and systems. Programs like NIPSCO’s Energy Efficiency Rebate Program help businesses lower upfront costs and long-term expenses.
