Can portions of buildings be retrofitted and still qualify for a deduction; for example; the common area versus tenant spaces; or a portion of the common area?
Portions can be retrofitted and the associated square footage areas considered. back to questions If a building is used as both a warehouse and manufacturing facility, ASHRAE/IES 90.1 appears to allow the building area method to be used separately for the warehouse portion and the manufacturing facility portion. Is it then the case that the tax deduction would be calculated separately for both areas of the building if the building area method is used-50% savings and $0.60/sq.ft. for the warehouse, and 25-40% savings and $0.30-$0.60/sq.ft. for the manufacturing facility? The building areas could be addressed separately, as suggested.
